Dialog: Dimensions of reused overlay may cause scrollbars

Description

The dialog overlay reuses old instances to work around an IE memory leak with alpha transparency. This might result in a too large overlay if the window is rescaled in between successive uses of the dialog.

To reproduce the bug open the modal form demo in a wide browser window and

1. Open the 'Create new user' dialog and cancel it.

2. Make the browser window smaller.

3. Reopen the dialog.

The window has now a horizontal scroll bar due to a too wide overlay.

Workaround: Set the overlay's width and height to 0, either before destroying it or before setting its dimensions on creation.
