Description ahristov 2007-02-11 12:46:53 UTC

If a component inside a container spans completely the container horizontally
(for example, a label that stretches to both ends of a panel in order to remain
centered), when that component is dragged vertically the container is resized
because the designer insists in placing a gap on at least one of the sides that
didn't have it. 

In the enclosed test case, drag any of the blue labels vertically keeping it
inside the panel. The panel is always resized horizontally.

Still valid

Comment 5 Tomas Pavek 2012-06-14 09:32:05 UTC

I can reproduce this in 7.0, but not in 7.1 or 7.2.
Should be fixed with changes done for 7.1; if moving/resizing only in one dimension, the layout should be kept intact in the other.
