WTF?
This problem didn't affect my program any longer because its rebars have only one row of toolbar buttons and they aren't allowed to wrap anyway. Nevertheless I reconsidered your example code, Rob. I finally found the problem causing the wrong dimensions and row counts: we had set the state constant for the seperator to "TBSTATE_ENABLED" but in fact this doesn't make much sense because a "TBSTYLE_SEP" button can't be disabled, right? So I just replaced "TBSTATE_ENABLED" with "0" and all strange behaviour disappeared. This is probably not a really neat solution and I think there might be a constant specified for this purpose. "TBSTATE_INDETERMINATE" is a good candidate, isn't it? It works, too. Of course I'm not as nearly into Win32::GUI programming internals as you and probably most other members of this list are... so I can only guess that using "TBSTATE_ENABLED" on a separator button causes the toolbar sizing routines to *think* of it as a normal button with comparable dimension needs and therefore to wrap this (imaginary and obviosly not displayed) space into the next line. Whatever the exact reason may be, the solution shown above seems to work. Main conclusion: no bug to be eliminated... hooray!
