Description

I must be missing something really obvious here. TablePane happily
accepts a padding value expressed as a dictionary. So does Label.
But when the bxml serializer gets down to the TabPane below where I
try to set its buttonPadding to the same dictionary, it barfs, saying
"Unable to coerce org.apache.pivot.collections.HashMap to class
org.apache.pivot.wtk.Insets". Aren't the padding values also of type
Insets? What am I doing wrong?

<Window xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<TablePane styles="{padding:{left:10,right:10,top:5,bottom:5}}">
<columns>
<TablePane.Column width="1*" />
</columns>
<TablePane.Row>
<Label text="Some text"
styles="{padding:{left:10,right:10,top:5,bottom:5}}" />
</TablePane.Row>
<TablePane.Row>
<TabPane styles="{buttonPadding:{left:10,right:10,top:5,bottom:5}}" >
<BoxPane TabPane.tabData="Test" />
</TabPane>
</TablePane.Row>
</TablePane>
</Window>
