Ah, I see. We must have different definitions of "centered". I view
"CP_MIDDLE" as "same size but centered around the new position", which
will require the left and right edges to be adjusted evenly. You seem to
be thinking of "centered" as "stretch proportionally to the position in
the dialog"... In other words, in the above example the control should
end up at 30,49 using my definition (keeping its size at 20). I'm not
convinced it's a bug. We could, of course, add other positioning controls
(e.g., CP_SMARTSTRETCH) that do what you want.

Ok, I'll look into this.
