I configure a GridBagLayout and use CUSTOMIZE to configure the components within the container. Then, if I change to another layout and then return to GridBagLayout; all my settings disappear. Furthermore, upon adding pre-creation code for a component inside the layout or the "creation code" itself all settings are lost as well. When settings are lost, all components lose their GridX/GridY/anchor/etc settings and revert back to the default. The main form window in the editor still reflects their old settings (which have since been lost) but the source-code does not so when you compile and run the program the resulting look is completely different from the form window's preview.
This is the same "issue" as 9820, which was fixed in dev-build [nb-dev](133). *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 9820 ***
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
