I have a great many Swing screens setup to use the absolute layout. They were all created initially with WindowBuilder Pro (over the years). Without going into the merits of absolute layout model I now find that when I am in design mode and move a visual component the hierarchy of the objects changes with the net effect that the object that I moved is no longer visible.
Effectively my hierarchy starts as something like
JFrame -> ContentPane -> DesktopPane -> JButton
I move the position on screen of the button, expecting that the bounds x,y co-ordinates are updated and find that the structure has changed to
JFrame -> ContentPane -> JButton
I don't want to have to re-invent all my code so that I can continue using WindowBuilder - can anyone suggest what has happened here ?
