Re: IE 7 bug? LayoutPanels cease resizing after first time displayed

When you navigate between the screens are you removing the prior
panel? If so then you're probably encountering a bug that I found:

You could workaround it by hiding the previous panel instead of
removing it. Or you can call forcelayout recursively...
