Description nikoniko 2006-10-06 10:03:10 UTC 
I create a form, JFrame, JPanel but when reopenning this component then NetBeans sets all components 
with component.setBounds(x,y, -1, -1).
This is very annoying because it is in the part of the code that is generated by NetBeans and have to go to 
an external editor to fix it. Every time afte every save. And I save a lot so it is bugging me for some time 
now.

I appreciate a fix for this.

I think I found what is happening if you pick a component panel, label etc..
and under "Layout Constraint Properties" you pick for width and height "Preferred" then you get setBounds 
with wrong values (-1, -1)

If you manually set values then everything works fine.
