Is TPairSplitter buggy? Or gtk2?
Gtk2. It happens with other controls too.
Summing up I want to know:
Is it a good idea to go on using TPairSplitter or if I should better
switch to TSplitter?
Previosly we thought to remove TPairSplitter. TPairSplitter uses 2
panels + splitter on other than gtk/gtk2 platforms. Therefore it adds 2
unneeded window handles. This makes your form more heavy - it needs more
os resources, positioning and resizing requires more operations.
I'd vote for removing, if in the end it happens to be a bad decision to
use it because it is not fully funtional (combined with gtk2) and with
TSplitter there is an alternative.
At the time we implemented TSplitter, I voted to keep the TPairSplitter.
If I look at my uses of a TSplitter in most cases I need something as a
TPairSplitter. Which means that I need to use 2 TPanels myself. I think
there are more users needing this.
IMO, a widgetset can do this more efficient with some native control (1
handle), than using 2 panels (3 handles). So I still think it has its
need, and imo it doesn't have to get deprecated
