...and howcome the component has a different size when the program is
executed than it has in the designer?
This happens only when there's one of those -1's in the constraints.
There shouldn't be anything wrong with what doLayout reprots since the
component is a simple BorderLayout.
Conclusion? A bug I'd say - in your XYLayout -!
For (once again) there is abolutely *no* reason to go for default values
(which don't always match as described above) when the user is giving
absolute values by hand. To be absolutely clear on this: whenever
somebody specifies something directly, with absolute values, a XY layout
should just take those and not mess around with em...
A layout (and a designer) which don't result in programs looking exactly
the same as at design time certainly *are* buggy.
