Here is runnable piece of code explaining the problem -
I can remove s1 and s2 but not s3.
This does not seem MigLayout related (I happen to be using it) as I see the same behavior with default layout as well.
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import net.miginfocom.swing.MigLayout;
public class MyFrame2 extends JFrame {
private JPanel main;
private JPanel s1;
private JPanel s2;
private JPanel s3;
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
MyFrame2 f = new MyFrame2();
f.setVisible(true);
Thread.sleep(2000); //you can see all three panels for two seconds
f.main.remove(f.s1);
f.main.validate();
Thread.sleep(2000);
f.main.remove(f.s2);
f.main.validate();
Thread.sleep(2000);
f.main.remove(f.s3);
f.main.validate();
}
public MyFrame2() {
main = new JPanel();
main.setLayout(new MigLayout());
main.add(new JLabel("Why does s3 not disappear?"),"w 200, h 100, wrap");
s1 = new JPanel();
s1.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.GRAY,1),"s1"));
main.add(s1,"w 90%, h 300, wrap");
s2 = new JPanel();
s2.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.GRAY,1),"s2"));
main.add(s2,"w 90%, h 300, wrap");
s3 = new JPanel();
s3.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.GRAY,1),"s3"));
main.add(s3,"w 90%, h 300, wrap");
getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
getContentPane().add(main, BorderLayout.CENTER);
setSize(new Dimension(800, 600));
}
}
Call at the end, after the last f.validate()
:
f.repaint(50L);
As the last validate does not change layouting.
