[Lazarus] Trouble understanding StatusBar panels

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

I've defined 3 panels in a status bar. For each panel I have set their
widths, yet at runtime they all seem "auto-sized" and shrink, then end
up being squashed on the left of the status bar.

eg:

+-----------------------------------------+
| str1 | str2 | str3                      |
+-----------------------------------------+


What I want (by setting the widths of each panel) is the following:

+-----------------------------------------+
| str1 | str2                      | str3 |
+-----------------------------------------+


It seems LCL simply ignores the fact that I set panel widths. How do I
fix the panel layout in LCL?

ps:
I don't actually want text in the 3rd panel, I want to draw a image. The
image must always appear on the right edge of the statusbar.
