Problem resizing custom Mode after upgrading from 8.01 to 8.02

Hi folks,

I upgraded my Netbeans platform based application from being based off IDE 8.0.1 to 8.0.2 via autoupdates. At first I noticed no issues, but then I tried to resize one of my custom modes in the docking framework.

Basically, like the IDE I have a large document window in the middle and then custom Top Components right and left of it. Those have their own wsmode definition files.

When I start with an empty userdir, I do get the starting positions of all Top Components correctly. I can then enlarge the left or right windows by pulling the handle towards the middle. But as soon as I do that, there is no way to revert that, i. e. I cannot make the windows smaller again. At this point I have to delete the userdir to get my starting configuration back - but that is hardly something I can tell my users to do routinely.

My question is what would be the best way to go about this? I can
- file a bug (but I have nothing to show except what I wrote here)
- try a few suggestions from you guys
- post my wsmode files (although I don't believe they have any bearing on anything except the starting configuration)
- create a minimal app that shows the problem (but who to send it to?)

I suppose if anyone has any ideas how to debug this, I would gladly go down that route first. If there are no ideas, then perhaps it's the minimal app with a bug report?

Many thanks in advance for any pointers,

Ulrich

PS: I have already tried upgrading to NB 8.1, the problem persists there. I did not have it with 8.0.1, although I must admit that I cannot prove 100% that the problem was caused by the upgrade to 8.0.2 - maybe I did something stupid and forgot about it.
