[wxhaskell-users] Checkbox width bug

[Kennis K. <kol...@cl...>]

I'm using wxHaskell 0.3, along with wxWindows 2.4.2 and GHC 6.0.1 on 
Mac OS 10.2.8 and Windows 2000 SP4.  Under both operating systems, 
checkbox controls are automatically sized with a width nearly three 
times longer than they should be.  The following code (also attached as 
the file checkbox.hs) demonstrates the problem, and the attached 
screenshots (checkbox-mac.pdf and checkbox-win.pdf) show what the 
results are on my systems:

 > module Main where
 >
 > import Graphics.UI.WX
 >
 > main :: IO ()
 > main
 >   = start
 >     $ do f <- frame [text := "Checkbox Test"]
 >          c <- checkBox f [text := "See the space -->"]
 >          t <- staticText f [text := "<-- between the arrows?"]
 >          set f [layout := margin 10 $ row 0 [widget c, widget t]]

I've also submitted this bug to the wxHaskell project on SourceForge.  
Any workarounds/fixes would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

- Kennis
