I am trying to understand the logic of the anchors of graphic elements
like buttons etc., especially the meaning of the margin values. Assume
two buttons A and B:
----- -----
| A | | B |
----- -----
With the object inspector I can align the top of button B to the top of
button A. Then the top of B is always the top of A plus the (top) margin
of B. The margin values of A are irrelevant for the relation between the
two borders. The same applies to the bottom alignment.
But if I now align the left border of B to the right border of A it
behaves different: The left margin of B is no longer the only value that
defines the position of B relativ to (the right of) A. The right margin
of A is also considered. It seems that the maximum of both values is
used for the distance. This is very confusing. Is that by design?
