I have seen similar problems with standard windows. I think this is a general problem.
When apps are sizing their windows using calculations based on the total window size,
results are usually wrong in managed mode.
On your screenshots the extra size in both horizontal and vertical directions is
matching
the size of the window manager decorations (one can also say that the app is not
widening its
display to match the total size of the window including decorations)
I searched in your traces for GetWindowRect calls and found them immediately followed
by calls to MoveWindow (exactly what I expected).
Alexandre Julliard talked on wine-devel about this class of problems I think; I could
not
for the life of me unearth the reference, but as far as I remember the gist of it was
that all Wine calculations and reports to the app should be based on the Wine window
excluding any 'real' size coming from the window manager, so these calculations can
be consistent (warning, this is a very hazy recollection).
As you are certainly aware, Alexandre Julliard has stated that he wants a complete
rewrite of managed mode for 1.0 - maybe you just volonteered :-)
>(I have also noticed that there are two DIFERENT HAS_DLGFRAME defines, one in
>windows/nonclient.c, one in windows/winpos.c.)
Certainly ugly but is it related ? It's easy to check :-)
