Using Edit > Cut / Paste in Matisse / Swing GUI Builder

I am new to NetBeans - considering migrating from Borland/Codegear Delphi RAD
environment.
Using NB6.0 on Windows XP.

The NetBeans Swing GUI builder is confusing me.  I have a context-sensitive
popup menu available with Cut, Copy, Duplicate... available when working on
a GUI layout.  So, I highlight one or more controls that I want to Cut, but
when I select "Cut" from the popup menu (or Edit/Cut), nothing happens.  

I would *expect* that when I perform a "Cut" operation on highlight GUI
control(s) they would truly be Cut, and disappear from the GUI layout
(though continue to be held in the paste-buffer).  Is this just not working?

If I do a *copy*, that operation does work, and I can Paste just fine.  So,
I thought I could simulate a Cut/Paste by doing: Copy GUI item(s), then
delete items on GUI stage, then Paste somewhere else. But, if I do that, the
size/position info of items Copied is lost.  When I do not delete prior to
pasting, the size info is saved OK.  What is up with this??

It seems the GUI-builder is a bit buggy, temperamental, or something.  If it
is just that I don't understand it, let me know.  If not, how do I submit
this behaviour as a bug?
