Create new component (JavaBean) from some container. Put some components into it. Put this component into ComponentPalette. Create new form and put your component into this form. The content of your component is shown. Close formeditor and open it again. The content of your component will not be shown.
Priority is changed to P4 (normal).

This is a known problem of container beans. The workaround is to set the property "isContainer" of the bean in component palette to false: Global Options > Component Palette > Beans > YourBean. Then the component should be shown correctly (but can't be used as a container unfortunately). This bug will be fixed later, it requires non-trivial changes in form editor's code.

There is also a suggestion to be able convert container to ordinary component directly from Component Inspector (bug 9875).
