+ // style of the child to reflect its new location. We do this early
+ // because without it GetBestSize (which is used to set the initial size
+ // of controls if an explicit size is not given) will often report
+ // incorrect sizes since the widget's style context is not fully known.
+ // See bug #901694 for details
