It's a bit frustrating that I *thought* I had found the documentation ( 
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Anchor_Sides )
but  then you point me to yet another documentation about the same topic.
Spreading documentation all over the place is not a good idea. ;-(


I read a bit more (I did not understand this fully yet because it seems 
a very complicated algorithm
with lots of variables involved) but what strikes me is that horizontal 
and vertical borders seem
to be treated differently. Is there a reason for this?
