Description esmithbss 2010-05-24 08:06:56 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201005192201)
Operating System = Linux version 2.6.32-22-generic running on i386
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_20
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 16.3-b01

When adding a second check box with a left side aligned with the center mark of the widget on the line above, and a check-box previously aligned with the right hand boundary of the above widget, the entire form will compress in size.

See Screenshots.

Any chance to attach the GUI form here? Best if in the state of the first screenshot where the bug can be reproduced by adding the checkbox. That would make a clearly reproducible test case, much easier to fix. Thanks.

The project is built on the Building a Java Database Application tutorial.  This project is graphically equivalent to completion through "Adding Additional Contols" step 6 with or without the binding creation on the tire size and modernness scroll bars.

Add the next check button so that the alignment cross hairs are vertically on the left edge of the New button and horizontally inline with the bottom of the existing check box for Spoiler.

I am able to reproduce this problem in NetBeans 7.0.1, but the same test-case works fine in the latest development build. So, the problem was fixed by the recent fixes in Free Design.

Note that it is not possible to open the attached test-case in NetBeans 7.1 because NetBeans support of Swing Application Framework has been discontinued. On the other hand, it is possible to copy the layout of the problematic container into another form (in NetBeans 7.0.1) and reproduce the problem there. This form can be used then to verify that the problem is fixed in NetBeans 7.1.
