One column layout does not use full width of window
问题 I would like to create a layout: 2 rows, 1 column. 1st row should occupy 70% height of the window and 2nd row 30% of the window. I achieve this by using weighty attribute of GridBagConstraints . However I have problem with the width of my component, because when I resize application window the component remain in the center, its width is constant and I get a white spaces in the left and right of the component (even if I set fill to BOTH ). This problem does not occur when I change the height
