JBuilder's UI Designer works with the content pane, which is where most
components usually go in a Swing UI.  The root pane is generally not
used to lay out the GUI.  Instead, it is usually used for programmatic
manipulation of the GUI, such as with drag & drop, popup menus, etc.

Instead of messing with the root pane and layered pane, just place the
two labels together in a JPanel and place that in the content pane.  It
should work pretty much the same as what you have been doing, except
that the default for the layout manager will be different.

That will do it.  If the JLabel is obscured, the cursor will not work.
