Screenshot of dialog with space

Version: 4.2.0
Build id: I20111230-1130
Ubuntu linux.  

Resizing the wizard dialog does not change the excess space in the layout.  See the attached screenshot.

Mike reports the same issue using a more recent build in Linux Mint I20120117-2200

The fix for bug 351494 in Control#computeNativeSize(..) has caused this bug.

To leave some space in the GridLayout, we create an empty Label with hHint=0. At the end of computeNativeSize(..), the width and height get wrongly set to 64. They must stay at 0 in this case.
Comment 2 Markus Keller CLA 2012-01-26 05:49:44 EST 
Bug 357559 fixed a similar problem in ToolBar, but Control#computeSize(..) is still broken for other kinds of controls.
