Hi,

I have a "strange behavior" in 2 of my windows (JFrame) on WInXP running 
JRE1.4.

Example - one panel have (GBL) Grid: 5 across and 4 down

Top row looks like:

RadioButton1 (RB1), RB2, label, JComboBox, empty

             Constraints
             Grid      Ext   Insets  Padd    Weight  Anchor Fill
components  X Y W H   T  L  B R     W    H  X Y
----------  - - - -   -- -- - ---   --- --  - -     ------ -----
RB1         0 0 1 1   39 40 0 0     9   -3  0 0     Center None
RB2         1 0 1 1   39 0  0 103   23  -3  0 0     C      N
label       2 0 1 1   39 9  0 0     33   5  0 0     West   N
JCB         3 0 1 1   39 9  0 134   154 -1  1 0     C      Horiz

(All values were created in JBuilder from XY-Layout)

The problem: If a value (visible or down the list not visible) in the 
JCB is large (>17 char) the label that is for RB2 is cropped. Some 
changes below in the panel does also happens but what I don't understand 
is why only the RB2 label is affected and not anything else on that "row".

Note: There is plenty of space in the JCB to display the full string (up 
to 50 char).

Tests:
1) If I remove the padding, the RB2 label is fine but the JCB doesn't 
display the full string.

2) Changing the JCB to
    JCB         3 0 1 1   39 9  0 0      0 0  1 0      W   None
    creates a window that size everything according to the strings in 
JCB. Since the JCB is empty (populated from a DB) when in design mode it 
becomes hard to see the final size and layout.

3) I added a padding of W 120 and could now use a longer string but not 
full length (50 char).

A constraint that I didn't play with is weightx but should not change 
anything unless I resize the pane, right?

TIA,

Magnus
