title: Widgets behaving strangely when using "setlayout(null)"
body: <p>I'm doing the following call in my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>...
  setLayout(null);
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm trying to place a button and a textfield by specifying their x and y coordinates.</p>
  
  <p>The problem when I run the program (either with Eclipse or BlueJ) is that I need to run on the panel up to the position of the button and the textfield in order to see respectively the button and the textfield.</p>
  
  <p>When I find the textfield, it is small. Only when I start writing it assumes the size I specified.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to solve it?</p>
