Skip as a constraint is not working

[MKevin3]

"skip" in component_constraints appears to be ignored. I had to manually add place holder to the layout to "fill in" empty spots. I tried "skip 1" and that also had no impact.

I have not seen that kind of behaviour. Can you give an example when it is not working?

I'm using miglayout 4.0. Here's an example how skip behaves:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<com.saynomoo.mig4android.MigLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                                    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                                    column_constraints="[][][]"
                                    layout_constraints="debug, wrap"

        >
  <Button android:text="One"
          component_constraints=""/>
  <Button android:text="Two"
          component_constraints="skip"/>
  <Button android:text="Three"
          component_constraints="skip 2"/>
  <Button android:text="Four"
          component_constraints=""/>
  <Button android:text="Five"
          component_constraints=""/>
  <Button android:text="Six"
          component_constraints=""/>
  <Button android:text="Seven"
          component_constraints="skip"/>
  <Button android:text="Eight"
          component_constraints=""/>

This layout does not work with skip. Uncomment the TextView lines in Row 1 text area, remove the SKIP from component_constraints and all is fine. Even if you don't remove the SKIP after uncommenting it will paint the exact same - the text is not under the image but in the previous column.

This is a basic layout of 6 images with text below them in portrait mode. A home launching page. The images don't really so use any you care about but they should all be the same size.

There are typos in some component_constraints. Fix those and the layout works :)
