[regression] dojox/geo/openlayers/widget/Map not working in conjunction with OpenLayers 2.11

[pags]

Receiving:

Uncaught TypeError?: Cannot read property 'w' of null OpenLayers?.js:563

It appears the underlying OpenLayers? map's size object isn't initialized by the time it is needed.

[pags]

Map is being initialized within a templated widget.

postCreate : function() {
            this.inherited(arguments);
            this.mapWidget = new Map({
                baseLayerType : dojox.geo.openlayers.BaseLayerType.OSM,
                style : "border:1px solid #DDD;height:100%;width:100%",
                initialLocation : {
                    position : [-74.00597, 40.71427]
                }
            }, this.map);}

This was working in 1.7.2 and 1.7.3 - broke after 1.8 beta.

This is probably following #15526 and in particular [28935]. The dojox/geo code was hardcoding the size of the map div inside its component. This hacky code was removed thus revealing your issue. If you correctly size your div in CSS you should not have the problem anymore. At least we were able to make all our demos / samples work with OL by doing so (see the ticket).

If you still get it please provide us with a full & simple example reproducing the issue to accelerate its investigation.

Given that no one has shown interest in creating a patch in the past 3+ years, I'm closing this as patchwelcome.
