Description MackSix 2011-10-24 13:48:38 UTC
Case 1: When the Top or Left space around a component is not set Resizable, then the corresponding Anchor menu options "Bottom" or "Right" cannot be selected but there is no indication in the menu that they are un-selectable. (not grayed out)

Case 2: If the Top or Left space around a component is set Resizable, then the corresponding Anchor menu options Bottom or Right are automatically selected.

Case 3: If Case 2 then the Top or Left Anchor options are available and if they are selected, the corresponding Bottom or Right space around a component is automatically set Resizable.

Expected results: Since Case 3 then Case 1 should allow Bottom or Right Anchor menu options to be set and the corresponding Top and Left space around a component should be automatically set Resizable. If not, then Bottom and Right options in Case 1 should be grayed out to indicate they are un-selectable as to not frustrate user and to be consistent with the other states that gray out the Anchor options to indicate they are not availabe.
