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.
