Re: [Adobe-source-devel] Small/mini control size fix

[Foster T. B. <fbr...@ad...>]

My idea is to remove GetBestControlRect because of its inherent 
bugginess, and replace it with a metric system similar to what I'm 
envisioning Ralph is using on Windows. It'll use calls to 
GetThemeMetric to calculate minimal sizes for controls, and then the 
best_bounds calls will add the size/baseline of the text.

This should remove the fudge system entirely, or at least minimize it 
and systematize it so it's not so horrendous.

Blessings,
Foster
