It would be good to do something about this. :)

The name updateAfterWidgetResize() makes it sound like we wouldn't need to call it after position-only changes.
If so, we should avoid the extra work. If not, we should rename it to something more accurate, e.g updateAfterWidgetBoundsChange().

I'm a bit spooked by removing the null check here, but I don't see how we would be here with a null widget.
If we were being destroyed, the weak pointer guard above would have taken care of it.
It would be nice if we could get rid of this possible state by enforcing presence of a Widget at compile-time.
Might be a bit non-trivial though.

It is indeed wrong naming as it calls both position and size changes. Will fix it.
