Description Joe Winchester CLA 2004-04-14 06:11:35 EDT
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.
