That comment would deserve some explanation (the b96b3d15 commit message does no provide that explanation either).
What are our next options? Can the control be resized just enough without changing the overall dialog size?
Dialog templates must match the PSDK ones, applications do depend on dialog and controls sizes and positions,
Do you have examples? What is it that they try to achieve that makes them depend on the dialog or control sizes (or positions)?
probably apps may depend on controls' text as well.
I wouldn't worry much about those as they would break in any non-English Windows version too. If the programmers were sloppy enough to depend on the control text then they certainly did not bother gathering the text used for each language along with potential variations across Windows versions. And in any case I don't think it's reasonable to require that all our translations use the same text as Windows.
