Netbeans Free Design to Absolute Layout

[g***@hotmail.com]

I've had trouble with Netbeans layout in the past but I just had a situation where Swing textboxes jumped across the panel in response to a textbox input when the program was running. What the heck can cause that? I switched to "Absolute Layout" mode and have not seen it happen again. Isn't there some other way to "lock down" an assisted layout? Thanks.

One perennial problem is failing to pack() the enclosing Window before
invoking its setVisible() method.
