I am new to NetBeans - considering migrating from Borland/Codegear Delphi RAD environment.
Using NB6.0 on Windows XP.
The NetBeans Swing GUI builder is confusing me. I have a context-sensitive popup menu available with Cut, Copy, Duplicate... available when working on a GUI layout. So, I highlight one or more controls that I want to Cut, but when I select "Cut" from the popup menu (or Edit/Cut), nothing happens.
I would *expect* that when I perform a "Cut" operation on highlight GUI control(s) they would truly be Cut, and disappear from the GUI layout (though continue to be held in the paste-buffer). Is this just not working?
If I do a *copy*, that operation does work, and I can Paste just fine. So, I thought I could simulate a Cut/Paste by doing: Copy GUI item(s), then delete items on GUI stage, then Paste somewhere else. But, if I do that, the size/position info of items Copied is lost. When I do not delete prior to pasting, the size info is saved OK. What is up with this??
It seems the GUI-builder is a bit buggy, temperamental, or something. If it is just that I don't understand it, let me know. If not, how do I submit this behaviour as a bug?
