Options Dialog rendered differently on SageClient and Placeshifter

[tmiranda]

I've got a straight forward options dialog that contains a scrollable table and an Item. When I look at the dialog on a SageClient it looks as I would expect. When I look at it on a placeshifter the Item button and the table vertical scroll bar are not displayed.

I put a DebugLog() statement as a child of the Item Widget (see below) and it gets executed, but nothing appears on the screen.

Item Widget
    DebugLog("HELLO")
        "Button Text"
            Text Widget

What would cause this?

My guess would be that it's a function of window size and/or screen resolution. Either there's some text that wraps differently in a different-sized window, or there's some component that uses an absolute pixel size that's too big for the parent container, or something along those lines that's causing your widgets to lay out off the bottom or side of the screen.

I'm using the same machine for both the placeshifter and the client so the resolution is *probably* not an issue. I'll see if I can track down if it's using an absolute pixel size somewhere.

In case anybody ever runs into this issue - I never did manage to figure this one out. Ultimately I solved the problem by changing the appearance of the dialog.
