When a slider control is added to a panel, any further controls cannot snap to the slider. If you try and add extra controls below the slider they align themselves erratically with no obvious logic. Steps to reproduce: 1) Create a new JFrame Form. 2) Add a new label, snap and align to the top of the form. 3) Add a new slider, snap and align to the top of the label. 4) Add a new label, snap and align to the top of the slider. Note at this stage that the behavour is correct and the label can be alligned to the slider 5) Add a new JPanel, snap and align to the top of the label. 6) Add a new Label in the JPanel, snap and align to the top of the JPanel. 7) Add a new Slider in the JPanel, snap and align to the top of the Label. 8) Add a new Label in the JPanel, try to snap and align to the top of the Slider. This will not work and any other controls added below the label will simply be unplacable and therefore unusable in design as the designer seems to place them randomly.

I am sorry, I am not able to reproduce this issue. I must do something in a different way. Could you, please, attach your form (both .java file and .form) file after step 7. and describe where exactly I should attempt to add the next label. > any other controls added below the label will > simply be unplacable and therefore unusable > in design as the designer seems to place them randomly. Could you, please, provide an exact example of this behaviour? Please, do not forget do describe expected versus actual behaviour. Thank you in advance.
