BorderContainer: splitter, handle separates from gutter

[samduke474]

In Google Chrome, clicking the BorderContainers splitter while zoomed not at 100% causes the gutter to separate from the splitter 'button' as well as increasing the gutter size initially. If zoom is above 100%, the gutter movement is away from the "center" region, while the splitter 'button' remains under the mouse. Below 100%, the gutter moves the opposite direction.

Not sure if this is due to a higher DPI on this machine.

After zooming in and then out, the splitter returns to its proper home.

The problem can be seen to a lesser extent in Firefox by zooming in (ctrl +) a lot and then clicking the splitter a few times, a separation of a few pixels appears. Not sure if this is related.

I think the picture attached shows this best.

Interestingly, ExpandoPanes? do not have this problem.

Ugh, I see what you mean, webkit's zoom has a lot of issues, see also #10959. I tried the latest chrome beta and it's still broken.

I should also point to this which I am following: ​http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=679

there are problems with the zoom that are (slowly) being fixed. I wonder if there is any sanity check that can be done in BorderContainer? to confirm the correct positioning or if webkit reports things improperly

This problem is lessened in Chrome 8, although not completely fixed. Still, I think we just need to wait for chrome to fix their bug, because I don't know how to workaround the problem. Patch welcome, but for now I'm going to close this as wontfix.
