Title: window resizing issues

---

I have window W1 which has a Vertical Box which in turn has a Datagrid and one of those DataGrid columns of the Datagrid has a Horizontal Box which has a button icon. The MXML is somewhat like

<mx:VBox width="100%" paddingBottom="10" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10" paddingTop="10" styleName="formSection">
            <mx:DataGrid id="my_grid" dataProvider="{my_grid_dp}" headerHeight="0" width="100%"
                allowMultipleSelection="true" change="remove_value.enabled = expected_result_grid.selectedItems.length > 0;" rowCount="3">
                <mx:columns>
                    <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1" dataField="expected_result" wordWrap="true" />
                       
                    <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 2" dataField="expected_result" width="45" >
                        <mx:itemRenderer>
                            <mx:Component>
                                <mx:HBox horizontalAlign="center">
                                    <mx:Button icon="@Embed('../assets/img/edit.png')" toolTip="View" buttonMode="true" click="outerDocument.openmyWin_fn('update')"/>
                                </mx:HBox>
                            </mx:Component>
                        </mx:itemRenderer>
                    </mx:DataGridColumn>

                </mx:columns>
            </mx:DataGrid>
           
        </mx:VBox>

When the button icon is clicked(which is noted in bold above), another new window W2 is opened using the below function

public function openmyWin_fn(eventObj:*):void
            {
                //Keeps multiple windows from being opened
                if(result_win == null){
                    result_win = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, result_win, true) as result_win;
                }

                //Passes the parent object to the popup window
                result_win.openingParentWindow = this;
               
                //Set the mode (Add or Update) in which the form should operate
               result_win.form_mode = eventObj;
               
            }

I tried to add a TextInput in the above MXML in Window W1's source which led to the window W2 opening in the rightmost part of browser window without a scroll bar instead of appearing with a scroll bar in the center of browser window. W2 should be appearing as overlapping W1, not adjacent to it. I commented the TextInput I added, even removed it, still the issue(window W2 opening in the rightmost part of browser window without a scroll bar) persists. I once had this where inadvertently a height value was added to the whole window. After I removed it, the window was fine. This time I am using comparing the source before I added the TextInput control and after and it looks same. Where could I be erring to cause the W2 to appear in the rightmost part of browser? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
