Description runa 2007-04-04 07:52:12 UTC 
Entering this for external customer from the Sun Developer Expert Assistance
program:

1.Drag & drop a layout panel on to the design page.
2.Drag & drop a dropdown list and a tabset into the panel layout.
3.In the property sheet of the dropdown list component click on the button next
   to style property.
4. A style window opens, click on the Position in the left side of the column.
5.In the Position section set the mode to fixed and in the size section, set the
width to 75 px.
6.Click on ok.

We could see the visual web pack designer places the dropdown at the upper left
corner of the page, although it shows up correctly when the application is run.

Is there a workaround for this issue?

Peter, can you evaluate if this is a designer issue ?
Thanks
Comment 2 Peter Zavadsky 2007-06-20 21:10:32 UTC 
Yes, it is there, investigating.

Simplified steps (the presence of the tabset is needless).

1) Drop layout panel into the designer
2) Drop dropdown into the layout panel
3) Change the style property of the drop down to the: position: fixed; width: 75px
4) The dropdown will be rendered at wrong position in the designer (outside the panel).
Comment 3 Peter Zavadsky 2007-06-20 21:45:10 UTC 
The problem seems to be computing the position for the fixed box when its top and left are auto.
Comment 4 Peter Zavadsky 2007-06-20 23:56:38 UTC 
The reason of this issue (not the hang, but the huge number), is bad structure of the individual views after the drop.
It seems that the views are still not properly separated from the model. Investigating.
Comment 5 Peter Zavadsky 2007-06-21 20:52:28 UTC 
The last comment didn't belong to this issue.
So the issue remains, the problem is computing the position of fixed box while its properties are auto.

Further simplified steps:
1) Drop layout panel into the designer,
2) Drop any component into the layout panel (e.g. button or listbox),
3) Set the position property style of the component to fixed, while don't set top,left,right,bottom properties.
4) The component gets positioned to the left upper corner of the viewport instead of the layout panel.

Comment 9 Lark Fitzgerald 2007-07-16 19:30:02 UTC 
Still reproducible using nb6 200707130000

Steps:
1. add layout panel
2. add dropdown inside of layout panel
3. edit style using ...
4. set Position: mode = fixed
4. set Position: width = 75px

dropdown repositions in upper left corner.  note: you can also just paste: position: fixed; width: 75px into the css
style box and press ok.
Comment 10 Peter Zavadsky 2007-08-23 19:37:48 UTC 
It is working for me, could you please try out again, or to find out whether it is windows only? Thanks.
Comment 11 Peter Zavadsky 2007-08-31 00:15:43 UTC 
Closing as works for me. Please try out and if doesn't work reopen and specify the platform etc. Thanks.

Still reproducible (image attached).  Tested with:

Comment 15 Peter Zavadsky 2007-09-28 19:58:15 UTC 
Yes, now I get the same result too. Looking into it.
Comment 16 Peter Zavadsky 2007-09-28 20:11:07 UTC 
There seems to be some kind of refresh issue.

Immediately after the change the drop down is positioned in the top [0,0], but after consequent refresh it is correctly
inside the layout panel.
