Java form that illustrates this problem.
To see this problem in action: 1) Load the attached CameraPreferences.java and .form files in Netbeans 6.0. 2) Switch to "Design" mode. 3) Select the combo-box component to the right of "Emitter Geometry". 4) Drag the right edge of the component to align it with the combo-boxes above it (which leaves some padding between the right edge of the form and the combo-box). 5) Watch the right edges of that combo-box and the ones above it snap to the right-most edge of the form. (Screen shot also illustrates problem) Thank you for a precise bug report. I was able to reproduce the issue. Has anyone looked into this lately? This is a major issue as creating nice looking forms is almost impossible and makes Matisse _very_ frustrating to use. What about a fix for that problem ? Does anyone find a workaround solution in the meantime ? I have the same problem from the begining...I am using Netbeans since version 6.0. Everytime there is a new realease I hope the bug is fixed but it is always there. This is a major issue and I don't understand why there is no improvement and visible efforts (release changes) for fix it. Design form is extremely important... I am working on a big ERP project (at the end, hundreds of complex forms) and it is at lot of time wasted in dealing with those bugs. It will be great to have a "lock component" feature or disabling auto-aligment Please help... Other people are reporting those problems from years now... It will be very nice to have a reaction of a Netbeans developper about that major issue. And to know what they are doing to fix that problem. I continue to find it sad that such an extremely powerful, amazingly diverse development system doesn't come up with a simple and reliable way to do layout. Still valid Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201110030601) Java: 1.7.0; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 21.0-b17 System: Linux version 2.6.38-11-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) I can reproduce the described problem on the attached test case in NB 7.0, but it works in 7.1 and 7.2. There have been many fixes for 7.1, this particular problem was likely addressed as well. Closing this issue as fixed. |
