Build 050619, jdk1.6.0-b42 I tried to design a Find dialog. I put JLabel to top, left place; JTextField beside right and JButton top, right. When I resize JTextField to the whole space between JLabel and JButton, JLabel and JButton disappeared. They appeared again when I finish resizing.

I raise a priority P2 - It's hard to use form editor on jdk1.6.0-b42 Other scenario: Steps: - open attached form - rename JButton (doubleclick on it; e.g "Find") - other components disappeared !!! Workaround : close, save form and open it againg
Created attachment 22930 [details] Exception
The attached exception is thrown, when you don't notice disappearing components and add Close, Help JButtons bellow Find JButton.
I am also seeing the effect of disappering components. In my build they return as soon as I stop resizing or click on the "back (top) panel" build 050629, jdk 1.6-ea-b39 (linux 32bit)
The issue was probably caused by some problem in Mustang build. I am not able to reproduce it with the latest build (no. 47). Closing as WORKSFORME. Feel free to reopen if you are able to reproduce it in the latest Mustang. In such a case, please, attach a new test case.
I am not able to reproduce it with build 050819, jdk1.6.0-b42, too.
