Hmm, I just tried a quick test, and don't see a problem with the static
control.
Would you be able to send me the dialog you see the problem with? Or a
test dialog that shows the problem?
You can send it directly to my gmail address. Or, if you don't mind it
being public, you could open a bug and attach it to the bug report.
