GUI builder should offer relative constrainst and properties that do not hardcode component orientation. GridBagLayout was fixed already time ago (issue 36815), we need to fix BorderLayout and BoxLayout as well. BorderLayout: LINE_START, LINE_END, PAGE_START, PAGE_END BoxLayout: LINE_AXIS, PAGE_AXIS
The relative constraints should be used by default (e.g. when moving components by mouse).
The BorderLayout support has been fixed: /cvs/form/src/org/netbeans/modules/form/layoutsupport/delegates/BorderLayoutSupp ort.java new revision: 1.9; previous revision: 1.8
The BoxLayout support has been fixed: /org/netbeans/modules/form/layoutsupport/delegates/BoxLayoutSupport.java new revision: 1.12; previous revision: 1.11 /org/netbeans/modules/form/layoutsupport/Bundle.properties new revision: 1.13; previous revision: 1.12 /org/netbeans/modules/form/GandalfPersistenceManager.java new revision: 1.171; previous revision: 1.170
