Problem with Generic Scattering Calculator buttons (Trac #616)

[butlerpd]

Once a pdb file is loaded in the Generic Scattering Calculator window a new drop down combo box appears BEFORE the two Help and Close buttons, pushing them out of the viewable area. However it does not force a redraw that allows the panel to realize it has elements off to the right so that a scroll bar can be added. Two suggestions:

• fix so that the redraw alerts the parent that a bottom scroll bar is now required.
• move the Help and Close buttons one line down so they are not pushed to the right when the drop down box is added.

In changeset 0f7c930:

#!CommitTicketReference repository="sasview" revision="0f7c930fc2c325971c76a60d39f2e3719b8143a3"
force resize of panel (self.FitInside()) when the button sizer expands
due to user action.  Also puts buttons in two rows so not usually a
problem anyway now. Fixes #748

• butler changed resolution from "" to "fixed"
