Description Jiri Vagner 2007-08-29 08:49:37 UTC 
IDE throws assertion error after changing AbsoluteLayout to Free Design.

Steps to reproduce:
 - create java app project
 - add jframe form
 - add jpanel component
 - in Inspector window change layout to AbsoluteLayout
 - now try to change layout to Free Design -> assertion is thrown
 - try to click on AbsoluteLayout node in Inspector -> NPE is thrown

java.lang.AssertionError

The assertion complains about addition of layout interval that already has a parent. The problematic layout interval is 
horizontal/vertical interval of some layout component. The root of the problem seems to be the fact that layout 
intervals of layout components are not removed from their parent when layout of their container is switched from Free 
Design to another layout.

Note that this scenario exhibits also another problem - the position of the components is not kept when layout is 
switched from Free Design to absolute layout.

I did not manage to reproduce the issue using above mentioned steps. Isn't it already fixed, Jirka (or Honza)? Neither
assertion nor NPE was thrown when I followed the steps, but maybe there is just some detail needed that was not mentioned...
