I’m just doing my personal project that draws a basic map using Swing.

I have many issues but the worst one is that the position of JLables changes every time I

  1. Resize the frame
  2. Set them invisible and visible again (setvisible(false)->setvisible(true))
  3. Move the screen to another tab ‘Map 2’ and come back to Map 1 (The frame has JTabbedPane)

It’s sad that I don’t have enough reputation to upload images 🙁

all the JLables are located on the top of the JPanel.

It’s like

Before
.———————————————–
.———————————————–
.———Label1—————————–
.———————————————–
.——————Label2——————–
.———————————————–
.——————————-Label3——-
.———————————————–

After
.———————————————–
.———Label1 Label2 Label3———–
.———————————————–

I also tried using setLocation(new Point(x,y)); after resizing happens but nothing came out.

Any tips will be appreciated. 🙂

    You have used absolute positioning without setting the layout accordingly. Refreshing the display in the presence of FlowLayout, the default for JPanel, causes the layout you see in after. Using setLayout(null) may work, but the preferred approach is to use the intended layout manager.
