Please provide a sample .html file so that I have something to test with.  
I am guessing the width fails to calculate properly when the outer container is 
hidden. I would suggest trying this with a fixed width configuration option.

Great Example!
I see the problem in the code, but I want to address several different sizing 
issues that will require some significant rework.  Look for version 1.2  If you 
want to hack at something sooner, look in the _setSize function, where 
            controlWidth = controlWrapper.outerWidth();
which returns a zero when the div is hidden.  You could possibly include a hard 
set from options.width if zero is detected here.

FYI - no bearing on this particular problem, but you will want DDCL v1.1 which 
is compatible 1.4.2 / 1.8.4
