Description Jana Maleckova 2006-08-09 15:01:59 UTC 
NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200608061800)
1.6.0-rc; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0-rc-b94
Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
cs_CZ (nb); Cp1250

Description:
============
form files are in attachment. 
1. Select buttons4-6, set feature "change horizontal resizability" and click on
button "Align left in column". Then all selected buttons get the same width
which is adapted to the widest of them. I think it's not correct. I expected
that buttons get left aligment in column and their width stays unchanged.

2. Another unexpected behaviour is in the second group of buttons (buttons1-3).
These components are in horizontal paralel group. And if you do the same steps
as were described in the first case. Their width is not only adapted to the
widest button in group but all buttons are adapted to frame's width.

Comment 3 Jan Stola 2006-08-10 10:33:35 UTC 
I don't agree that the first test case is a bug - there are two possible 
results of this operation - the actual behaviour and the described expected 
behaviour. Unfortunately we cannot read user's mind to find out what he/she 
expects. Note that you can simply achieve the second result by the following 
steps:
1. switch of resizability of the buttons
2. perform the alignment
3. switch the resizability on

The second use case seems to be really incorrect.
