[FNR] TabPanel and VBoxLayoutContainer

[DarekKay]

It seems, like it's not possible to use a VBoxLayoutContainer within a TabPanel:

    public void onModuleLoad()
    {
        TabPanel tab = new TabPanel();

        //ContentPanel f = new ContentPanel(); // --> this one works great
        VBoxLayoutContainer f = new VBoxLayoutContainer();
        f.add(new Label("Q"));
        tab.add(f, "bug");
        tab.add(new TextButton("testButton"), "showTestButton");
        RootLayoutPanel.get().add(tab);

    }

And that's, how it looks like:

The Label (or any other Widget) is rendered over the whole TabPanel. A ContentPanel doesn't make such problems, but since I am using VBoxLayoutContainer most of the time (automatic strech and flex on last item is just great), I hope this one will get fixed.

It seems like the GWT-TabPanel has the same behaviour. It work's fine with a GWT-TabLayoutPanel , but since I prefer the GXT widget, I have to use a ContentPanel wrapper to show my VBoxContainer correctly.

I had no problems with GXT 2.x - but since you're obviously trying to close the gap between GXT and GWT, equal behaviour is the right way to go. My solution shouldn't stay unmentioned though, since I don't think I'm the last person facing this problem.

Appears to be a bug in VBoxLayoutContainer from that then - adding position:relative to the Label's parent, or parent's parent seems to fix it.

We'll update this thread when a fix is available.

This is now fixed in SVN (rev 1934). Change will go out in next release next week.
