[Lazarus] GTK2 GroupBox auto size

[Vojtěch Čihák]

@ I want to see it fixed! Gtk2 and Windows were mentioned. What about other widgetsets, how do they behave?
 
Qt has this issue too (i.e. GroupBox is autosized around children, long caption is not fuly visible).
 
 @ My logic also says that if the user has set a caption and defined a control to be autosized, the text should be visible. In what situation would it be useful to cut it automatically?
 
And what about autosized forms? I mean: why it does NOT matter with Panels and Forms but it (exclusively) matters with GroupBox.
 
Although, I am more-less neutral in this case, if it will be patched or not.

To me it seems like yet another bug in Delphi.When talking about GroupBox it is actually a missing feature in Delphi.My logic also says that if the user has set a caption and defined a control to be autosized, the text should be visible. In what situation would it be useful to cut it automatically?And yes, automatic layout + anchors in LCL are already more advanced than the Delphi equivalent. Delphi compatibility is a lame excuse for such bugs.I want to see it fixed! Gtk2 and Windows were mentioned. What about other widgetsets, how do they behave?There are more bug reports for the same thing. I will find them ...Juha
