External issue URL: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257519
> Hard to align elements inside the swing GUI builder Matisse
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-1411
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1411
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: guibuilder - Natural Layout
> Affects Versions: Next
> Reporter: Christian Lenz
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: matisseRearrangement.gif, swingAlignmentBroken.gif
>
>
> You can't be pixel perfect inside of the gui builder because of the automated
> gaps and rearrangement of the elements, when you move elements arround.
> Please see my screencast (swingAlignmentBroken.gif) for what I mean. It is
> really hard to align all items, as I want, due to the gap, trying to be
> perfect fit but I can't align it px perfect. And then it will rearrangement a
> lot which breaks the layout.
> The second screencast (matisseRearrangement.gif) shows that it grows below,
> when I try to make the space between label and textfield smaller.
> I use the layout "Free Design". It should be really free. I mean in general
> the designer is good, better than the IntelliJ one, because they don't have
> such free designer, they only have grids and boxes, maybe this is enough but
> not if you want to be pixel perfect.
> The other thing is, if you try to be pixel perfect, it can be a mess and the
> UI can look really shitty.
> Cheers
> Chris
