JDK-8119915 - Regression : size issue with many controls
Description
If you run the attached NB project, moving the slider you can see that many controls cannot be resized.
For instance: TreeView, Accordion, ListView, TextArea, TextField, ...

With 2.2.6, all these controls are obviously resized as expected.

I've backed out the changeset locally and tested that the attached test case still works. Will push the backout when I'm next on VPN.

@Martin: So your advice is to remove the code that is contained in the attached RT-28337.patch file?

I noticed the code that fixes this issue in SkinBase and it looks like it's not needed anymore (the sample above works even without the code).

I can recreate the issue, and workaround it by calling requestLayout() on the 'bad' controls from within the test code (after all the pref widths have been set). Therefore, this issue can be resolved using the attached patch, but I am not sure that it is a good solution - I will need to clarify before pushing this as the fix.
