I have read this forum and many users of matisse have problems with matisse. It would be great if the remaining bugs will be fixed. This is from my view a critical part for creating platform application.

Sometime matisse does one of the following:
- Enlarge the jpanel size if a component is resized. Happening if the resize of the component is not possible. Switching of the property resizeHorizontal/resizeVertical of the component to be resized is solving that issue.
- Decrease the size of a jpanel sometimes is not possible. Doing it with the property space around component is solving that issue.

Maybe with the enhancements coming to swing with JDK 7 (JLayer) this could be a good time to enhance matisse with the new features from JDK 7.

I am sorry, but your report is too general. Please, provide exact steps of some test cases and do not forget to emphasize the difference between actual and expected behaviour in these test cases. Thank you in advance.
