I'm implementing an UI in Java Swing. Therefore I use a JTabbedPane. The tabbedPane has no components at startup. When i add a tab to the tabbedpane, the width of the tabbedpane increases, when i remove the tab, the width resizes to the width at the startup. This should not happen.

The tabbedpane is placed on a JPanel which has a gridbag layout.

Layout code:

Container contentPane = mainFrame.getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout( new GridBagLayout() );
GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();        
// add the component tree
initComponentTree();
c.gridx = 0;
c.gridy = 0;
c.gridheight = 1;
c.gridwidth = 1;
c.fill = GridBagConstraints.BOTH;
c.anchor = GridBagConstraints.LINE_START;
c.weightx = 1;
c.weighty = 1;
contentPane.add( componentTree, c );        
// add the tabbed pane
initTabbedPane();
c.gridx = 1;
c.weightx = 10;
contentPane.add( tabbedPane, c );       
// add the status panel
initStatusPanel();
c.gridx = 0;
c.gridy = 1;
c.gridwidth = 2;
c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
c.anchor = GridBagConstraints.LINE_START;
c.weightx = 0;
c.weighty = 0;
contentPane.add( statusPanel, c );


Hope someone can help!
