First I realize this is in alpha so if the answer is the layout mangier is not working fully that is fine. I just want to know how this is supposed to work.

I have created a top level layout mangier that is vertical. inside it I have put a layout mangier that is horizontal and has an label and edit box and separately inside the top level under the first one I have put in a list box. Then finally I put another horizontal layout mangier under the list box that has 3 buttons.

So I think what I should get is a row with label and edit box and a second row with the list box and a third row with 3 buttons. If I understand it correctly it should grow the list box to be as long as my edit box and label together. Then finally make the buttons at the bottom all the same length of the longest row.

If that is how it is supposed to work it is not. My list box is not the same length as the edit box let alone the edit box and label together.

Can you take a look at this and tell me what I should be doing to line these controls up in this dialog?
