How to get a better WYSIWIG : absolute and relative sizes/spacings are wrong

Hi,

We have fixed serious problem in layout behaviour, and the fix will be
included into the next build. Couldn't you please try it, probably
everything will work properly.

left = uiDesigner, right = app @ runtime

Hi, I do not understand the purpose of your spacers in each line and
columns that contains your buttons ... is it because you want a column
larger than your button (if so, you can put your spacers in any empty
cell of the column I think). If it is to have some empty lines, are you
sure that your spacers have the good orientation ?

I wanted each cell to be a square, with equal sides. I haven't checked,
with the current version, and there could be a better way. As there is
no doc nor how-to, it's still unchartered territory for me.
