The new TSplitter control in V1.02 works well but I've noticed some
unexpected behavior and I'm not sure if it's working as designed or not.

Do the following with the supplied docking example:

1. Click and move the splitter.
2. Take it to its extreme edge.
3. Keep moving the mouse off of the form with the button held down.
4. Move the mouse back over the form.

At this point the splitter begins to move again but the mouse is no
longer positioned over the splitter but is offset depending on the
distance it moved off of the form.

I've noticed this in Firefox and IE (various versions).

Is this normal?

Rick,

Yes, but I can see how it can be disconcerting, so I'll see about removing
this behavior.

Tim, I also see this behaviour when working with controls in the IDE.

For example, when resizing a TGrid using the mouse the positioning is
off if the left button is held down and the mouse moved off and back on
the form.

You're right, it is disconcerting.

Rick,

This is fixed in the framework for the splitters.

Are you, perhaps, resizing the control from the *left* side ?

Tim, it seems that the effect is observed when resizing off the form on
the opposite side that is grabbed.

For example, drop a TGrid on the form, grab the bottom, right corner and
resize off to the left or top of the form. When you move the mouse back
on then the corner is offset from the mouse. If you resize off to the
right or bottom then it stays where it should.

Same occurs when resizing the bottom left corner off to the right or top.

Yep, it's now fixed.

Tim, just installed 1.02b2 and the splitter display looks much better.
Thanks for fixing that.

All we need now are anchored controls (ok, a few other things as well).
