Here's an example of something that tripped me up when handling a dividerRelease event for a divided box.
In the event handler I was using the width of an element inside the divided box and using the revised width in a calculation (after all the divider had been dragged), but after some experimentation it seemed that the calculations were always 'one drag behind', never the expected width. Turns out that when the dividerRelease event is called, the components inside the divided box haven't yet been resized! Small example application below (which includes a workaround by handling the component resize directly, rather than via the dividerRelease). Just in case some others might trip up on this like I did!
