Select a component on a gridbaglayout panel and change its gridWidth or gridHeight. Unless the component is filled (so it takes up all available space) or some other combination occurs where it physically spans the cells, there is no visual way of seeing that it spans more than one cell. I know Jeff thought about this for SWT GridLayout and we should maybe do something similar for GridBagLayout. Perhaps the red dotted lines between the cells that are being spanned should be in a different color like a light red - maybe when a component is selected the red dotted lines around it (including all cells it spans) are shown differently.
