It started out fairly inconspicuously. It was a day like any other, until at four o’clock, as I was leaving the school building, my destination was not the heart of the village green, but the opposite end of town. First I went to get a haircut. There was nothing I could do about the beard …

If you dock only to the sides where the edges are, the controls will always stay docked to them and will not change size. If you set up colliding docking (to parallel sides), the controls will overlap. If you set everything up so that the controls that are not at the edges stretch, only they …
