Bug 37868 Setting a GridLayout on a TabFolder gives strange behavior when resizing
Reported: 2003-05-20 10:40:51 | Status: resolved fixed

Although it doesn't make sense to set a layout on a TabFolder, I've seen this done many times. The problem is that it doesn't affect the look in windows, but in motif, the widgets appear in bits and pieces after resizing the window. Would it make sense to override setLayout() in TabFolder as a no-op, as an added safety mechanism, or to throw an exception?
