It's reproducible with attached form, thanks! Do you remember how did you created this form (steps)?
I stumbled across the error trying to reproduce the quickstart example: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/50/quickstart-gui.html I didn't follow the guide step by step, I just used the final screenshot as inspiration and went on my own from there..
I do remember one thing though. The error started when designing the lower panel. I started with the JTextField and the JTextArea (using the panels whole width). From there I started adding JButtons (holding down shift). After renaming the buttons to match the example, I selected them all and selected "Same Width". But then the buttons wouldn't align with the textfield+area properly anymore, and it whas when trying to fix that by dragging the buttons around the error started.
Confirming reproducibility - it is sufficient to delete Edit or Advanced button. Probably caused by a sequential group in another sequential group (in vertical dimension).
Fixed together with issue 66356.
