Something else related to this problem: when a DockLayoutPanel is animated to resize its children, onResize() is called *before* the resize but my child component was expecting to examine its new size.
The JavaDoc for onResize says "This method must be called whenever the implementor's size has been modified." "Has been modified" signifies that it should be called *after* the resize has occurred which would definitely be more useful and expected. Currently, onResize is not called at the end of the animation because the animations onComplete() calls Layout.layout() and not Layout.layout(0, callback). i.e. if the callback was passed then onResize() should also get called at the end of the animation.
