WindowsBuilder deletes method called from action listener [message #661237]

I just started playing with WindowBuilder after using NetBeans for GUI construction for a long time.

I have version 0.9.0.r36x201102111130 installed

I have only used it for a couple days, and it just torched a bunch of my work!

I had several methods that were called from actionlisteners on several toolbar buttons. I decided to move things around and deleted these buttons.

Not only did WindowBuilder delete the actionlisteners (as expected), it also deleted the methods I CALLED from the action listeners! (several hundred lines of functionality I would have liked to retain.)

Of course I have backups, but I am alarmed as it seems very bizarre that it would do this silently and as the default behavior.

My google-fu was not high enough today to find any other mentions of this behavior.

Can anyone tell me if this is a bug? Or is this by design? If so can this be disabled? Are there any other oddities like this I should know about before WindowBuilder goes deleting my code all willy nilly?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
