🚀 go-pugleaf

I have an application that displays a dialog box with a series of field
label/text field (and textarea) pairs. The frame itself is managed by the
FlowLayout manager. The field labels are added to a panel managed by the
GridBagLayout, and the text fields are added to another panel managed by the
GridBagLayout.

Both "columns" appear as expected. The labels match up with the text
fields....except when the last text field is replaced by a text area. Then a
strange thing happens. The labels appear CENTERed within the column, and no
longer line up on the same horizontal axis as their corresponding text
fields and text area.

First question: Why does one panel (for labels), managed by its own instance
of a GridBagLayout and GridBagConstraints effected by another with its own
instance set (text fields and text area)?

Second question: Is this a language bug?

Third question: Can anyone suggest a work-around other than replacing the
text area with a text field--which, by the way, makes the problem go away?

TIA
