Description Brian de Alwis CLA 2011-12-07 09:27:05 EST 
Version: 4.2.0 (for M4)
Build id: I20111205-2330

Using Tom's live model editor, I tried twiddling with the 'orientation' attribute of an MArea.  It does not seem to have any effect.  As I could imagine more sophisticated tilings being wanted, perhaps the flag should be removed, so that an equivalent can be added by subtypes?

Or rather than inherit from MPartSashContainer, it should extend MElementContainer<MPartSashContainerElement> and, like MWindow, only render the selected element.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
