Description dmarmieri 2011-10-27 14:40:05 UTC 
I have a dialog with many jCheckboxes without text (only the small square is visible) below 1 character labels (just an example).

It is almost impossible to properly align the controls (I tried with all available layouts).

At last I choose Absolute layout and hand modified the .form and .java files since moving the controls with the mouse does not allow proper alignement.

A very simple solution would be to allow positioning the controls using the arrow keys (exactly like Visual Studio does).

Thanks
