Found these two bugs: LPP-4684 (http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-4684) and LPP-3637 (http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-3637).

So, this bug seems to be known, but the usage of "stretches" (for subviews!) is discouraged, because it won't ever work in DHTML. But at least it should be fixed for bwcompat.

I think stretching in general is broken for 4.x.x. There are a number of problems including this one. I'm not sure if there any relationship between the different problems but given that image handling is pretty important for a lot of apps, I'm hoping it gets worked on soon.

that means there is no way to modify the resource width and height?

Not quite true. You can modify the width and height of the view and if stretches is set, it will stretch properly. It's not completely broken just enough that its a pain to work with.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. I looked at your code, what do you expect? That modifying the upper view will somehow modify the lower? You could use contraints for the inner view to do what you want. I don't think you need to use stretches attribute.
