(Whiteboard: Have fix in my tree) 

TO REPEAT:
1. Select menu-item "Debug" - "Viewer Demos" - "#14 XML Sorting"
2. Click the "Toggle Style" button
3. Move mouse pointer in and out of the "Toggle Style" button

Win32: Notice how the "greyed out" scrollbars of the textboxes briefly
       displayes a "thumb".
Solaris: Notice how all scrollbars flicker.

Observe that this does only happen over the "Toggle Style" button and not on the
other buttons ("Author","Title","ISBN #").

Target Milestone: M12
There are two problems; the parenting of style context for the button label is
incorrect and the outline button style was being included in the reflow decision
even though it is not used.
Severity: minor → major
Increasing severity to major since it is reflowing the entire document each time
the button is entered and exited. This is a general problem where clicking on a
button which causes it's frame to be destroyed puts the button into a state
where it keeps reflowing on every enter and exit.
