Please do NOT auto-set children to "width: fill" when creating an Autolayout!!

Over and over and over again:

  • select a few things at once
  • SHIFT+A to autolayout
  • change autolayout orientation to L→R
  • OOPS all the children’s widths are screwed up now
  • undo, select every child, update width to “fixed” or “hug” as appropriate
  • change autolayout orientation to L→R

Anything that auto-updates children/parents is a problem, but I do understand why SOMETIMES it makes sense or is necessary. This is neither and is maddening!
