I was trying to verify fix: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99918

Steps:
1. add a layout > layout panel to page
2. add a basic > dropdown to the layout panel

Its not selected - ie, no handles.  The property sheet is right, but if you click the designer (de-selects properties) 
and try to select the dropdown, you can't do it on the designer.  You have to choose it using the outline.
Comment 1 Lark Fitzgerald 2007-10-09 20:19:06 UTC 
Note: the layout panel defaults to flow mode by default.  If it is in grid mode, you can select the dropdown if it was 
added after the layout was set to grid mode.
Comment 2 Peter Zavadsky 2007-10-10 00:11:08 UTC 
Yes, it is there, need to investigate it. The flow layout inside might be source of the trouble.
Comment 3 Peter Zavadsky 2007-10-10 00:55:48 UTC 
This is again the problem of the box which is generated for the dropdown (for the span) but then omitted in the layout.
There are couple of issues connected with this architecture glitch. Looking closer.
Comment 4 Peter Zavadsky 2007-10-10 01:45:07 UTC 
There is for some components generated parent box which is then excluded from the layout. This architecture causes a lot
of issues like this, but at this moment it is hard to change it. Hacking it for now.

Fixed.
