Possible Bug with GUI Alignment Tools

Postby scarlson » Sat May 30, 2009 11:15 am

Hello All,

I'm currently using:
Eclipse
Version: 3.4.2
Build id: M20090211-1700

GWTDesigner 7.0.0.200905220638

Working on a growing project and running into some issues with the vertical and horizontal alignment tools. (left,center,right,top,center,bottom).
I'd like to add quickly, that I tried the following in an empty gwt module and everything operated as expected.

In the larger project I see the following...
------------------------------------------------------------
When using Horizontal Alignment tools (all of them) The following happens iteratively:
Highlight two objects and horizontally alight them (keep the same object anchored and step through)
1st Time: The Moving Object overshoots the Anchored Object ALWAYS by 2px. The vertical coordinate of the Moving object will also decrease by 2px.
2nd Time: Horizontal will stay constant (at its overshoot point 2px away), but now the vertical coordinate again decreases by 2px.
3rd: repeat 2nd Time.

When using Vertical Alignment tools (all of them) The following happens iteratively:
Highlight two objects and vertically alight them (keep the same object anchored and step through)
1st Time: The Moving Object overshoots the Anchored Object ALWAYS by 2px. The horizontal coordinate of the Moving object will also decrease by 2px.
2nd Time: Vertical will stay constant (at its overshoot point 2px away), but now the horizontal coordinate again decreases by 2px.
3rd: repeat 2nd Time.
-----------------------------------------------
Has anyone seen these symptoms?

Like I said above, in a clean project, all of these symptoms go away...

Should I file a bug report? I will mention that my code block for all of the gui elements isn't the most organized, I noticed in the new version
of GWTDesigner that you are now bracing widgets for parsing/organization purposes?? So I have a mix of braced/non-braced objects ( I started the project in GWTDesigner 6.9, and also this is because I have made them private data members so that they can be accessed from other areas..

Thanks in Advance,
SCarlson

We were not able to reproduce this. Are you using any modified or unusual CSS styles?

It would be helpful to see a small, self-contained test project where this happens.
