Hey Dima,

Incidently we found out about this, at least if you include a 'float' widget in a dialog. Is this the case ?
And is this a regression?

Hi Koen,

Don't know what means 'float' widget. For example if I include layout(vertical) in a dialog and add there checkbox this happens and without layout doesn't. Don't know if it is regression. In 3.1.9 and 10 it was ok.

Regards,
dima

Hey dima,

If it was okay in 3.1.9 and 10, then that sounds like a regression ?
If you have a small test case, that would be welcome, otherwise we'll try to reproduce it ourselves.

Hey,

In fact, it is because of the (FAQ) misconception in layout manager behaviour.

You are using a layout manager without constraining the size of the dialog, in which case the behaviour is undefined.

You probably want to fix the example using:

pCont->setLayout( pVLayout, Wt::AlignLeft | Wt::AlignTop );

This fixes the layout in IE. I have been postponing publishing a post on how to make layout managers behave the way you want ... and I have also been thinkering with ideas to make the API more explicit about this.

koen
