It is happening because the panel doesn't have a best size or min size 
defined, so the sizer is always using the current size as the best size. 
  Although the behavior on Windows is more agreeable in this instance, I 
think it is the one that is incorrect according to the current 
definitions.  However I'm surprised to see the platforms behaving 
differently here because the code in question is shared between 
platforms.  I'll see if I can figure out what is going on...

Or you could save yourself a little confusion and replace the last three 
lines with

	rect.width = parent_w
