[Solved] White space appears above grid when using AJAX manager

[drpcken]

This problem has been driving me crazy.  I have a RadGrid with an Ajax Manager wired up to it.  See screenshot:

Everything looks great until I sort by a column, then for no reason at all a whitespace (about 8 pixels) appears above the grid.  See screenshot:

It seems that anytime I click on a control that is wired up to the AJAX manager this happens.  I have a button ABOVE the grid (it's not even a part of the grid) and its wired up to the Ajax Manager, when I click it I get the same behavior: a white space above the grid.  When I remove the AJAX manager it works, but of course the whole page posts back with no AJAX.  I've tried everything I can think of to fix this:  I've removed ALL CSS from the page, but I get the same problem.  I've removed the wrapper around the grid, same problem.  I've removed the loading panel, same problem.  I've removed every single server-side method and client side javascript but get the same problem.  The code for the grid:

<div class="CensusGrid">
        <asp:Button ID="btnRefreshCustomers" runat="server" Style="display: none;"  />

                            </a>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                        <ItemStyle Width="29px" Wrap="false" />
                        <HeaderStyle Width="29px" />
                        <ItemTemplate>

                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
            <ClientSettings>
                <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" EnableDragToSelectRows="False" />
                <Scrolling AllowScroll="True" ScrollHeight="489px" UseStaticHeaders="True" />
            </ClientSettings>
        </telerik:RadGrid>
    </div>
    <asp:LinqDataSource ID="LinqDataSource1" runat="server" ContextTypeName="clientBenefitDataContext"
            OrderBy="LastName" TableName="Census" Where="ContactID == @ContactID" OnSelecting="LinqDataSource1_Selecting">
            <WhereParameters>
                <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="hiddenContactID" DefaultValue="0" Name="ContactID"
                    PropertyName="Value" Type="Int32" />
            </WhereParameters>
        </asp:LinqDataSource>

And here is my AjaxManager which is below the grid:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
        <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="lblToggle">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadGrid1" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadGrid1">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadGrid1" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>
    </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

This problem has been driving me crazy.  Does anyone see anything I don't?

Ok within seconds of posting this I figured it out.  It was the hidden button above the grid.  I moved it to the bottom of the grid and it works fine... Figures :)
