[Laszlo-dev] setVisibility-Status

[P T Withington]

setVisibility was implemented but not advertised and setVisible was  
left for compatibility (with a warning if you called setVisible with  
null, as that seemed to be the case where people were getting  
confused).  setVisible was not deprecated though, so, I guess you  
could say there was a bug in the implementation of setVisibility if it  
broke something that was depending on setVisible working.

datacontrolsvisibility _is_ deprecated though, so it seems to me the  
component is several revisions behind the times.

I don't follow how the setVisibility change caused the regression?
