Create a new form with null layout. Add a JPanel to it (with free design). Add e.g. JLabel to the subpanel. 1) It is not possible to resize the panel with free design while it is in null layout container (unless some layout gap in the subpanel is selected, then it works due to some side effect). 2) Change text of the label in the free design subpanel. The whole designer size collapses to a dot.
