Firstly,

Ah geez, my apologies. I didn't notice that the Google Groups web
form was hiding all that content inside a tiny collapsed ellipsis and
sending it all after my message. I will remember that in future!

I suppose they are quite different and some guys might prefer Fl_Flex
because it is more similar to what they already use coming from
Gtk, wxWidgets, Java, etc.

OK, I have made a change that should fix this. Interestingly I
couldn't recreate it in MWM and TWM. However I could in CWM. I
believe the fix pushed to my repo is OK. I didn't expect resize()
to not be called before draw but as mentioned in a few of the
Fl_Group comments, many window managers do overly send resize events.

Yes, that isn't a bad idea to do. We could potentially even hide them if they don't fit. That way as in your example you will simply
see the excess buttons disappear if they don't fit rather than
giving any clue that things are a bit squashed. Perhaps I could
even recalculate the entire layout again but with every initial
widget size halved.

As an aside, is there any interest in a custom lighter STL containing
only the stuff FLTK needs? I have a project here:
https://github.com/osen/sr1
and a more robust one in my private CVS repo. This provides containers, smart pointers, etc but with some additional safety. For example it locks on -> and [] access avoiding almost any chance of getting a dangling pointer, dangling reference or dangling "this".
Thanks,
Karsten
