For beginners, the XYPanel Component is your friend - Sometimes

I know all the other Components have their purposes, but for placing text, images, etc., exactly where you want it… the XYPanel is hard to beat.

Hi @Agobin, @p.colbert is right - although most of our containers automatically resize to fit mobile screens, XYPanels don’t know how to rearrange your components! Can I ask why you are using an XYPanel in the first place? Perhaps you can do what you want with a ColumnPanel (which collapses automatically on smaller screens) or a GridPanel (which can be configured).

Is there any possibility that XYPanels can behave a little squirrelly? Perhaps suggested using certain browsers? I was in the process of converting my containers to XYPanels, but now I find that sometimes a component just disappears, or in setting a background color, it doesn’t work, etc. It’s bad enough such that I’m reconsidering using them at all.

If you can demonstrate it misbehaving, post a report with a clone link (and some hints of how to replicate the issue)!

I think (haven’t tested) that you need to add components in the correct order. If you a component on the bottom or on the right before adding one on the top or left it could misbehave.
