Your issue is *not* UiBinder here, but the *LayoutPanel's. As noted in the doc, a LayoutPanel needs to either: be a (direct) child or a ProvidesResize container (which is the case of all *LayoutPanel's too, including of course RootLayoutPanel) or be given an explicit size. And RootLayoutPanel, to be able to "ProvidesResize" to its children takes the whole window and listens to window resize events. If you don't want the RootLayoutPanel behavior, then you have to give your widget an explicit size (or come up with a solution to "ProvidesResize") -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
