docking and auto sizing

[TryMyWagon]

child widgets of a parent widget docked to the right side of the screen still try to default to the left and will try to "magnetize" as far left as possible (as far as allowed by the parent widgets max-width: value).

Using auto scaling in the parent widget causes the child widgets snap back to the left and stretch the parent container across the entire view

attempting to align the runaway widget to the right side (via the parent) does not fix the parent containers auto scaling being stretched

This is using the most recent src including the merge made last night (#5360)

Could you please elaborate on A) what results you are expecting, B) why you are expecting them, and C) what result you are actually getting.
