I don't know. The documentation is a little ambiguous, but it does say 
that if the content view does not respond to sizeToFit, then the box 
sizes the view itself, so perhaps it really should be something like:


      else // _content_view has no subviews
        {
          [_content_view setFrame: [self calcSizesAllowingNegative: NO]];
        }


Do you have an example where this is does not work right?
