Desing View doesn't work correctly

[juanseaddamo]

I have Eclipse version 2025-03
I also installed the last version up to date of the windowbuilder today

My desing view looks like this:

The window doesn't display at its fullest even changing the dimensions.

also if y try to add a panel it only lets me in these squares. for what i have looked on the internet you should arrange it to the dimensions you want

And also if i want to put a buttom or a label it only let me do it in this position. If y try to move it or making it bigger the buttom/label doesn't move or change

Do you know hot to fix it?

The window doesn't display at its fullest even changing the dimensions.

My current guess is that this is caused by the display zoom. Based on the screenshot it seems like you're using Windows with 125% zoom but WindowBuilder was only designed with 100% zoom in mind, which is likely what's causing those glitches.

also if y try to add a panel it only lets me in these squares. for what i have looked on the internet you should arrange it to the dimensions you want

That's because you're using the BorderLayout. If you want to change the way the elements are arranged in the content pane, you need to use a different layout manager.

And also if i want to put a buttom or a label it only let me do it in this position. If y try to move it or making it bigger the buttom/label doesn't move or change

That's because a JPanel is using the FlowLayout by default. Again, if you want a different arrangement, you need to use a different layout manager.
