moving of all already inserted visual components in design could be handled better as well. Exactly if user move e.g. jButton from design to white space, some warning message could be arisen: like really want to place this comp. to non visual place: OK/Cancel This could prevent user to do something which he doesn't really want do and thanks to it he has better overview about storage of all components Currently menu components can't be moved from menu designer to Other Components, while visual components can. We should make sure it behaves the same way - and that the user understands what's happening. The meaning of the white space is not very obvious to many users. Maybe show a menu with choices: 'Move to Other Components' and 'Cancel Move'. Note this is about existing components, adding from palette is a slightly different, though some indication of targeting the Other Components would be nice as well. related issue http://qa.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99699 |
