Most of the problems with AutoFormat have been addressed in
the newest CVS release 0.2.8 (see the release message).

Yes. The controls take over the sizing and will override the
size set at creation time. I don't know of a simple workaround.
I think using them in a sizer or with anchors could work.

I think the best answer would be for the controls to support
a NO_AUTORESIZE flag or something like that.
New flags are a bit of a pain tho. Maybe reuse wxST_NO_AUTORESIZE?
Anyway this is up to Will Sadkin who works on the masked controls.

Cheers,
Riaan.
