problems with the Header section of a template

Well-known member
I'm getting really odd behavior on the header section of a template and I can't seem to find out why. Hoping someone else here can give me some hints. (and also hoping it's not something silly like my last issue)

Here's the portal
Code: 
  <portal
    id="baAttrib"
    style="tblInvis">
    <table_fixed
      component="Attribute"
      showtemplate="baAttrPick"
      headertemplate="baAttrPick"
      showsortset="explicit"
      scrollable="no">
      <list>!Hide.Attribute</list>
      </table_fixed>
    </portal>

and here's the template it calls
Code: 
<template
    id="baAttrPick"
    name="Attribute Pick"
    compset="Attribute"
    marginhorz="13"
    marginvert="9">

	<portal

I'm sorry to say that I can't see anything wrong on a quick glance, and I'm getting on a plane to Gen Con in 5 hours, so I won't have time to study it before I leave. I'll take a look when I get home next week, if no-one else has answered in the meantime.
 
completely forgot about the GenCon blackout. You guys have fun! I'll bang my head on other parts of my project in the meantime, no worries.
 
So, the first thing I'd look for is which string is being displayed.

On initial thought, it could be Racial Max, but which one?

Change one of the instances of Racial Max to Racial Map.

If the text changes to Map, then you'll have a better idea of where to continue troubleshooting.

so I made some sense of this last night. It seems that the centeron works a lot better when the target item is itself placed by the centerpoint option. No clue why.

Code and screenshot to follow:

Code: 
<portal
    id="baAttrib"
    style="tblInvis">
    <table_fixed
      component="Attribute"

      headertemplate="baAttrPick"
      showsortset="explicit"
      scrollable="no">
      <list>!Hide.Attribute</list>
