Hi!
I have similar experiences ...
Especially, it is impossible to add a component into a panel that is empty
and zero size in one direction ...

1) use border layout
- put panel on it, CENTER
- try to put anything on left, top, right, or bottom
  I didn't manage.

2) use border layout
- put panel on it, bottom
- put panel on it, center
- try to put anything on the bottom panel.
  again, I didn't manage.

Only solution: change the center panel to top, add the controls.

W/o a working border layout, I lost my interest in Visual Swing Designer ...

Yours,
Sebastian
