The actions of the bin s are still vague to me as to how and when widgets stretch or not. As I understand, bin h and bin v create bins or rectangular boxes in which other widgets can be placed either horizontally or vertically. The "s" parameter can modify how widgets within a bin are placed. But "s" should not affect how widgets outside the containing bin are placed, other than changing the size of the bin. Below is a script which creates 6 forms. The top two show two forms with bins to be put into the forms below. Those in the right column contain an "s" and those on the left do not. The middle row places the bins horizontally and the bottom row vertically.
The bottom right seems to work right as the "s" in the second bin does not affect how the widgets in the first bin act. The still stretch as expected. However the middle right form the enclosed bins seems to be ignored as the left 3 buttons stay to the left when stretched horizontally. Shouldn't the first two buttons stretch and the last two separate? Just to confuse me more I modified the "bin z" in form "b0" to "bin sz" (the first form) and then the form B0HS1 works properly.
