Sizer vertical alignment differences

Description

I've noticed some differences in how different platforms do the vertical alignment in horizontal sizers, and wanted to start a discussion of it here. I'm using the trac ticket system because I couldn't figure out how to upload images to a trac wiki.

To start the discussion, the following code is used, and screenshots made from various platforms: 

#-- begin test code (copy/paste to a .py file and run it)

import dabo
dabo.ui.loadUI("wx")

class MyPanel(dabo.ui.dPanel):
  def afterInit(self):
    vs = self.Sizer = dabo.ui.dSizer("v")
    for alignment in ("top", "middle", "bottom"):
      vs.appendSpacer(10)
      hs = dabo.ui.dSizer("h")
      hs.append(dabo.ui.dLabel(self, Caption="%s:" % alignment), alignment=alignment)
      hs.append(dabo.ui.dTextBox(self))
      vs.append(hs)

if __name__ == "__main__":
        app = dabo.dApp()
        app.setup()
        pan = MyPanel(app.MainForm)
        app.start()

#-- end test code

Ok, they look fundamentally the same, so I guess my test isn't setting up the appropriate things to reproduce things I've noticed.

One thing I did notice was that on Linux, I needed to first resize the form manually in order for the sizer to layout.

Below is my code but only the last few lines apply. def afterInit(self):

self.Sizer = vs = dabo.ui.dSizer("v") gs = dabo.ui.dGridSizer(MaxCols?=10)

Running your code I don't see a difference between the settings. But if you look at my label.png you can see what happens when I use "alignment="middle". the code that applies is: newvs.append(dabo.ui.dLabel(self, Caption='Price'),alignment="middle",proportion=0)

Replying to anonymous:

<- snip ->

Your code example doesn't look like a real example, so i didn't run it. Please provide something useable.

I provided the code for you to review the statement not for you to run them. So explain to me how provide an example - since I need my classes for my code. Your code runs - I can see small differences between the statements. However, I can NOT see any difference between my call and your call. But my label is almost below the associated textbox (please review my snapshot).

Also if you add a checkbox to your code - notice that the label does not align with checkbox label. Add the below line to the loop in your code. hs.append(dabo.ui.dCheckBox(self, Caption="Consigned"))

Interesting... okay, this must be what I was seeing as well. Next step: implement this test in raw wxPython and if it is there we need to ask if it is a bug or not. It sure smells like one to me!
