RE:Expected behavior -- horizontal equal spacing

[jcmorris-mts]

Hi Eric,

When I place n controls in a panel, select them all, and click the "space equally, horizontally" button, the controls are equally spaced but across the width of the containing panel. The typical behavior (at least the one that I expected from other GUI tools) is to use the left edge of the left-most widget and the right edge of the right-most widget as the horizontal bounds to be partitioned. Is there a key combination or work-around for this?

BTW -- GWT Designer 5 beta looks brilliant! Excellent work!

Cheers,
Jason Morris

A good GUI builder should provide both alternatives.

Try Ctrl+Clicking on that toolbar button.
