BorderLayout - NestedLayoutPanel getting resized on collapse

[jarrednicholls]

Hey Jack,

Weird problem here. Do you know what would cause this?

I have a NestedLayoutPanel in the east region of a BorderLayout, which has a center and south region to it. When it's expanded and showing the NestedLayoutPanel, it's alright and doesn't overlap the main BorderLayout's south region, but when I collapse the east region, it resizes the region to the bottom of the viewport, and then the region seems to be z-indexed behind the south region.

Here's a picture of it when it's expanded and it looks correct:

I'm going to try messing with z-index, but I just thought you should know about this odd resizing behavior.

Thanks.

Since you can post links to jpgs, how 'bout posting an actual link to the example. Kind of hard to guess what's wrong looking at jpgs.

1) The image is plenty enough for Jack to see what's occurring.
2) The site's not public yet, and it cannot be public yet.

Well I guess we can all SEE that there's a problem. However, neither Jack or anyone else here has a crystal ball, so we can't see your code, or guess what your problem might be.
If you can't post a link to a working example, post a stripped down block of HTML code that replicates the problem. It may be obvious to someone looking at your code what the issue is, and if not, at least Jack or somebody else can copy it to their local box to play with.

A link is always better! Sometimes opening it in the debugger takes 2 seconds to find the problem, while searching through posted code (or guessing from an image) can take forever.

However this problem you are having just happens to be one I recently fixed (yesterday). The fix is in svn.

I agree, though my code is nothing out of the ordinary in this situation, so I was going on the assumption that I was definitely not the only person observing this issue, as my setup is such a common one.

Anywho, thanks Jack.

P.S. I love that you have your code in SVN now. I'm always anxious to have the latest fixes :-)

I also really like your move to a Subversion repository! :-D

I don't know how shared is my feeling, but I find much easier to follow discussions using mailing-lists, instead of forums. And using GMail to subscribe to mailing-lists is really very convenient.

Have you got any project to move these forums to Google/Yahoo groups?

[jack.slocum]

I like the forums. They seem more "personal" than a mailing list or yahoo group. Plus, they are semi organized.

[gcsolaroli]

is there any option to install a forum to mailing-list bridge?

Something like this:
