[comp.windows.x] More problems with the Form widget

staatsvr@asd.wpafb.af.mil (Vern Staats) (08/18/89)

I've got an application which has several form and label (athena) widgets
chained together as children of another form widget.  Sometimes when the
application is resized it gets "too small" and:

1)  A form may shrink to 1 pixel (high or wide) and stay that way even
    after the application is returned to it's normal size.

2)  The defaultDistance gap between a {lower,right}-most child widget in a
    chain and it's parent form may be lost

Is there a good way to return things to a sane state without setting off a
feedback war between the application and it's window manager?

Thanks in advance & thanks to all who responded to my previous questions.

I believe that I have fixed this bug, you may want to send in an official
bug report with some example code so that I can be sure that my fix solves all
of your problmes, or you can just trust me :-)
