Up to now, layout edit policies do not assert that the layout manager of their layout container (the host's content pane) is a compatible one. This is a likely pitfall that could easily be prevented by adding a respective assertion within setHost().

Just a comment: bug #302062 would allow to also perform such a check within ConstrainedLayoutEditPolicy be means of something like: Assert.isLegal(getLayoutContainer().getLayoutManager() instanceof ConstrainedLayoutManager);

Reproducible: Always
