Height

Hi I'm using views version 6.x-2.11 and views rotator 6.x-1.0 alpha2 and I can't seem to get the "height of container" style option to work. Regardless of what number I type into the box under "style:views rotator" => settings I keep winding up with the same large box of white space between my views rotator block and the content below it. I've stuck content into the footer section of the view itself, placed a block below it, placed the block in a separate block area in my theme and keep coming up with the same result. Is there a way to get the "height of container" area to register correctly or am I just typing in the number incorrectly? Currently I'm simply typing in a number e.g. 200. I've tried adding px or em to it as well e.g. 200px or 200 px and wind up with the same situation. I've left it blank and set to auto as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I don't believe the issue to relate to my stylesheet as I've tried it in different block areas, php code in footer, filtered html in footer, etc with the same result.
