#2 Internet Explorer 4.x wrong auto height

[Geert Bevin]

Internet Explorer 4.x doesn't perform layout changes
immediately. This has as drawback that when the width
of a layer is changed, the new height of the containing
re-wrapped text is only available later.

The only current workaround is to call setTimeout after
the layer width change, which executes the rest of the
code even later than the delayed layout updates. This
would however make the code completely unstructured and
very unmaintainable. Since most IE users have upgraded,
this bug is left unresolved until a better solution is
found.
