9 Patch issue? Especially on Galaxy Nexus?

I've a the following .9 image:

Patch 9 example .

As you can see this is a normal .9 baloon. It seems to work flawlessy on android prior to ICS and the draw-9 patch executable tells me everything is fine.

The issue comes when i use this on an ICS device or ICS emulator. It seems it doesn't evaluate the .9 "rules" properly.. In fact i end up getting the bottom-arrow uncentered. Again, draw 9-patch tool shows the bottom-arrow always centered.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my .9 image?

Solution

Try moving your horizontal content region (bottom 1px) to be centered around the arrow but also including the pixels you are setting to stretch on top. Hard to explain, but i was thinking more like this.
