Needed to add a rectangle to make it work.  First thought it was 
columns, but then saw that there was a rectangle on the detail which 
didn't show, it seems to be this which makes it work.

Maybe add a "how to" section to the doc or have things like this on the 
wiki?

BTW, I can't move items, i.e. adding the rectangle after my other fields 
nothing, except the background, showed.  Wanted to move it up/down but 
nothing happens - probably due to the change the split up things.  Will 
try and look into this later today.
