Description Jesse Glick 1999-07-28 19:14:40 UTC 
Reproducible here in build 360 [see attachment from user]:

- I created a new package.
- in this package I created an AWT-panel using the layout
com.netbeans.developer.awt.AbsoluteLayout.
- I put two text fields into this panel giving them the X-coordinates 140
and the Y-coordinates 30 and 60.
  The settings for heigth and width were "Preferred".
- Now after clicking into textField3 in the form editor its coordinates
changed to X=130 and Y=50.

In order to give You a better understanding of what I mean I send You a
Bitmap showing the states before and
after klicking the control textField3. I also got confused when I saw the
marked control moving in spite of having the
same X-coordinate as the unmarked.
