I'm placing components with a Null layout. Under the Properties/Layout subsection, I have X and Y specified and Width and Height both set to Preferred. I have also set the preffered size of my component. However, if I alter the preferred size, that is only reflected in the visual editor if I reload the form. It ought to be updated as soon as I alter my preferred size.
Seems to be related to form editor rather than beans module. Reassigning...
I was able to reproduce the problem. The layout constraints are not updated when the preferred size is changed. Lowering to P4 according to bug priority guidelines-Incorrect visual appearance (http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/bug_priority_guidelines.html)
I believe this issue is in essence the same as issue 82583. If I am wrong (which could happen), please feel free to reopen this issue. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 82583 ***
