Re: Re: Having trouble resizing and moving GUI components in the editor.

Thanks for trying, but yeah its totally not the problem. If it was the
case, I would have problems dragging and dropping lots of objects. Glade
editor works 100%. The problem is in NetBeans.

I stopped using NetBeans and the Java toolkit (unless doing homework for
class) I'm much more into the Mono / C# / Glade development cycle, its
much more fun.

Thanks for your response
