    I belive the form widget in R3
     would behave the same way in R4.

A rash assumption, particularly if you're trying for forward
compatibility.  Many bugs were fixed in R4.

It's not clear to me which parent you are talking about; is it
the popup shell that has the wrong size, or the original window
containing the command button?  The former is probably more
easily explainable than the latter.
