Description

Receiving an exception "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: width is negative." message when trying to add a heading in a Form container embedded within a Border > TabPane > SplitPane container hierarchy.

Bug can be reproduced with the following wtkx :

<Window title="Form Bug" maximized="true"
xmlns:wtkx="http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<content>
<SplitPane orientation="horizontal" splitRatio="0.3">
<left>
<TabPane>
<tabs>
<Border TabPane.label="Left Part">
<content>
<Label text="Left content" />
</content>
</Border>
</tabs>
</TabPane>
</left>
<right>
<TabPane>
<tabs>
<Border TabPane.label="Right Part">
<content>

<Form styles="

{showFirstSectionHeading:true}

">
<sections>
<Form.Section heading="Some heading">
<BoxPane Form.label="Some item">
<TextInput text="Some text"/>
</BoxPane>
</Form.Section>
</sections>
</Form>

</content>
</Border>
</tabs>
</TabPane>
</right>
</SplitPane>
</content>
</Window>

removing the heading or turning it off with the "showFirstSectionHeading" style fixes the problem but this means headings cannot be used in the form.
