I *think* the constants are being handled fine.  I can see this
problem, and it appears to be caused by adding the WS_POPUP style to
the window, which in turn causes the sequence of internal windows
messages to be changed.  This results in us processing a particular
message type (WM_SIZE) earlier than we expected, and not having
everything set up correctly .... now I just need to work out the best
fix.

No, it's a bug.

I'll fix it and get another Release candidate out.  Many thanks for the report.
