[Users] Trouble with mapPanel and googlelayers.

[Phil Scadden]

Geoext 0.7rc2, openlayer 2.9, ext 3.1.1

Having issues with google layers in a mappanel. The application is 
fairly complex. MapPanel is in an item of a group panel and is not the 
active group. In another group, user selects a map ( like a link but in 
fact executes code). The link loads google layers into a map, assigned 
map to mapPanel, zoomToExtent, then switches the group so mappanel 
displayed. For maps without google layers this is fine. With google 
layers, the map is blank. If I layer swtich to change which google 
layers is displayed, then up comes the map - but the extent is 
completely wrong. Now in FF or Safari, if I switch to an ordinary tab, 
and then switch back to the tab with geoext mapPanel, everything is 
magically working again! (provided I changed google layer first). In IE 
the extents stay wrong.

Any ideas on what special needs to be done for google layers?
