I can't get this formItem to center vertical in both IE and chrome:

[mtmattek]

This is a toolstrip:

Its being added to

final VLayout gridLayout = new VLayout();
                                        gridLayout.setSize("100%", "100%");
                                        gridLayout.setDefaultLayoutAlign(VerticalAlignment.CENTER);
                                        topMenu = setupToolStrip();



    
setupToolStrip method:

        final ToolStrip ts = new ToolStrip();
        ts.setDefaultLayoutAlign(VerticalAlignment.CENTER);
        ts.setHeight(52); 
        
        ts.addSeparator();
        Label fltrLabel = new Label("Active Filter");
        fltrLabel.setWidth(75);
        ts.addMember(fltrLabel);
        DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
        form.setHeight(52);
        form.setStyleName("filterDropDown", true);
        form.setItemLayout(FormLayoutType.TABLE);
        form.setLayoutAlign(VerticalAlignment.CENTER);
        activeFilter = new SelectItem("activeFilter", "");
        activeFilter.setAlign(Alignment.RIGHT);
        activeFilter.setTextAlign(Alignment.CENTER);
        
       
        //activeFilter.setHeight(20);
        activeFilter.setValueMap(activeValueMap);
        activeFilter.setAlign(Alignment.CENTER);
        activeFilter.setValue("Show All");
        activeFilter.addChangedHandler(filterChangedHandler());
        form.setItems(activeFilter);
        ts.addMember(form);
        ts

I've tried adding hieghts, etc... I also tried absolute positioning, no beuno. This seems so simple. I also saw something about using the watch tab of the console to debug layout. I couldn't really figure out how these messages helped me?

I'd really appreciate some help.
