If I put a label widget inside of a viewport widget and the label initially doesn't have enough stuff in it to make the viewport put in the horizontal scroll bar, and then I make the label longer and then the viewport puts in the scrollbar, but it doesn't make its whole window any taller; the scrollbar just plops down on top of my label, with just the top few pixels of the letters visible. Is that the way it's supposed to behave? -------------------------------------- rusty c. wright rusty@cartan.berkeley.edu ucbvax!cartan!rusty

The semantics of the viewport widget are:
- if unrealized, conform exactly to the child's geometry with extra
room for scrollbars iff the forceBars option is set.
- if realized, propagate resize requests from the child for a larger
size only in the dimension for which scrollbars were not enabled.
Propagate requests for a smaller size iff the current size of the
viewing window is larger than the child's requested size.
