I'm talking about the space components take up, not the internals of a
specific component. eg: A panel with three buttons in a horizontal
line. You might be able to AutoSize the buttons if there captions
change. But the Panel will not auto size to fit the new "larger"
buttons. The buttons will simply get clipped.
Make no mistake, LCL has much better anchoring and alignment than
Delphi - but there are still many areas of concern.
