    1. for GridLayout you can use JComboBox#setPrototypeDisplayValue, then you can to set initial size for JComboBox on the screen very confortly

    2. you can to use SpringLayout or GridBagLayout

    3. use todays custom LayoutManagers as MigLayout is for example

    4. notice about to choose the proper LayoutManager, everything depends of if the contents should or shouldn’t be resizable with container
