Reasigned to Form editor
Comment 2 Marian Mirilovic 2001-03-20 10:14:44 UTC 
Now Form Editor display right frame in design time, it means that if you compile
your frame and run it , you can see the same (or with small differences) frame
as in design time.

CardLayout - last release display layout with tabs, but real card layout doesn't
have tabs. If you set card layout , you can create cards (with components) but
visible card hasn't tab.

Adding problem:
you can add next JPanel or create new card by this way:

1. you have some card in card layout (e.g. JPanel)
2. select Top-component in Component Inspector (or hold Control and push mouse
on Form Designer Window until Top-component(node) isn't selected in Component
Inspector )
3. select component (JPanel, JButton, Label, ..) in Component Palette
4. hold control and click mouse on Form Designer window ( or cantainer with 
CardLayout)
- Component is added to Container as new card.

Thanx for report, but as I write - this isn't bug.
