Measure() should return the bound of the children factoring out centering offsets.

Hey guys, I've got a problem with some layout code I'm working on. I'm positioning a bunch of components, and their positions are determined by their measured size. However they are also being expanded larger that their measured size on occasion, which sends me into an infinite loop whenever one of my containers contains anything that's centred. I've figured out that this is due to CanvasLayout.measure() measuring children with horizontalCenter / verticalCenter at their current position, rather than at 0,0 which would make more sense to me. Not much I can do about this. It smells like a bug, but it might be on purpose. What should I do to combat this problem? I was thinking maybe setting a flag on updateDisplayList, that will make the next call to measure() return the same size no matter what, but that seems like a hack to me. And if there's an occasion where updateDisplayList() isn't followed immediately by measure() it'll break, and various other things just make it seem very frail. Has anybody come up against this sort of thing before? How did you tackle it? Cheers, -Josh -- "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls.
