I've got a form containing main menu, status lines top and bottom, and a couple of grids. I've been doing other things for a few days but I now seem to have a problem where resizing the form (diagonal mouse-drag on bottom-right corner) does not correctly resize/reposition all of the content.

Running on x86 Linux (Debian) and looking at the app built with different versions of Lazarus, each with its own LCL and preferred FPC version, and for either GTK1 or GTK2:

With 0.9.28.3 (27343) for GTK, neither status line changes when the form is resized, one of the grids which is left-aligned also stays unchanged with part of the bottom status line visible below it.

With 0.9.28.3 (27343) for GTK2, performance is erratic. The bottom status line sometimes changes correctly, but the width of the top line and its panes is always unchanged.

With 0.9.29 (27343) for both GTK and GTK2, attempting to resize the form sometimes results in it "snapping back" to the original size or sometimes to something intermediate; I suspect that this might be a DPI issue since I'm working over VNC and the setting of the two X servers might not be the same. Positioning of the status lines etc. appears to be correct.

I corrected the DPI issue and I don't believe it's the sole cause.

For completeness, 0.9.26.2 (25955) and 0.9.28.2 (27246) appear to behave as 0.9.28. However I think that I've seen all of those working properly in the past, although details such as the resizing of panes within a status line might have been erratic.

The layout algorithm was rewritten in 0.9.29 to support complex layouts.
Please create a bug report with an example.

Will do. Obviously I appreciate that GTK v1 support is being wound down.

Is there an approved way to submit form+code as a bug's appendage?
