Description Marian Petras 2005-08-09 13:20:26 UTC

MultiviewTopComponent cannot be used in place of a common JComponent - it works
only as a replacement of a TopComponent. When placed inside a container,
MultiviewTopComponent's preferred size dimensions are strange which makes the
component unusable.

To reproduce, add a MultiviewTopComponent inside a JPanel and display it.

Comment 1 Milos Kleint 2005-10-06 08:39:57 UTC

well, it works corretly within borderlayout or gridbaglayout. flowlayout seems
to have problems. so it's definitely not unusable. downgrading to p4.
see attached module project for testcase.

unlikely to be worked on in 7.0 or the next version.
