Hi Harm,

thanks, this is already a great improvement (see attachment 
(additionally with flipped #'direction). Now I see at least where to 
start tweaking. I just hope that I can find a way to make that 
manageable. When I'd have to tweak all these properties individually for 
each instance of the issue it'd be pathetic. Not even considering how 
robust that would be towards layout changes ...

Best
Urs
