Yup, sticking a panel in there makes the layout work better; but by doing that we don’t have a working children update since that relies on the paneMorph having the children.. well actually I guess one could make the getChildWidget method return the children wrapped in morph and so on. I’ll try it later.

As a work-around it’s plausible but it doesn’t lead to an explanation of what on earth is making it go wrong in the first place. The paneMorph is a BorderedMorph instance with corner grips, which in itself seems a bit odd - I mean, why a set of grips wrapped around the inner content? It’s not like using them to resize the dialog actually works properly - try increasing the size and then reducing it. Better to do that with the more ordinary window resizing grips. What about the BorderedMorph is breaking the submorph layout? Maybe I’ll try out changing the paneMorph as well.

The only actual usage of the children->symbol pattern is in FileList where it is used for the file type specific button row; but that is within a panel and not the ‘fake panel’ provided in DialogWindow.
