Frame in table always stretching to row height

[eduran]

I am trying to put a frame into the center of a table cell.

This code

Code: Select all

-- flow, just to draw red border in debug view
local testflow = self:get(pind).add{type = "flow", name ="test", direction = "horizontal"}
-- table
local testtb = testflow.add{type = "table", name ="test", column_count = 2}
-- a large label forcing the table row height to 100
local testlb = testtb.add{type = "label", caption = "LABEL"}
testlb.style.height = 100

-- a frame inside the cell next to the label
local testframe = testtb.add{type = "frame", caption = "frame in table"}    
testframe.style.vertically_stretchable = false

-- a frame outside the table
testframe = testflow.add{type = "frame", caption = "frame outside of table"}     
testframe.style.vertically_stretchable = false

produces this:

I would like the frame inside the table to behave exactly like the one outside, i.e. stretching around its contents, but not to fill its parent. Apparently vertically_stretchable is ignored inside tables? The only way I found is to set the frame's maximal_height property, but I don't know the size of the frame's contents in advance. Any suggestions?
