Labels going berserk

I am using NetBeans V-6.0 and trying to create a relatively complex dialog
with a tabbed panel and several controls on each panel.

Every time I close out the file, NetBeans RELABELS half-a-dozen labels. It's
like the pointers are all screwed up and so two totally different labels are
pointing at the same text string, so when I change the text string on one
label, it changes on the other one. I have tried everything, deleting both
labels, creating new one's, cleaning the project to no avail. It's like the
kid's game where you tap one pin and another jumps up - no matter what I do,
when the file closes out, several more labels change on me.

The only recourse left is to trash the hours of work assembling the dialog
(which already has many hundreds of lines of code associated with the
controls) and rebuilding it from scratch.

But it's obviously a bug in NetBeans, and I don't want to waste that effort
only to find that it all happens again.

Is there some limit to the number of controls/labels one can put in a
dialog. Is this a known bug (I tried searching, but found no reference).
It's got my stymied as I can't continue any development if the screens are
unusable :(

I'm thinking of trying the 6.1 beta in case this has been fixed, but I'm not
sure how stable that beta is....
