Arranging Objects within Table

I can create a panel and I can put Text inside the panel. But I want to add a check box, or a Combo Box directly next to the Text, it won't let me, and it moves it above/below the text. I want them side by side. I can't seem to do it. Essentially, I'd like to move all object wherever I want in a panel.

Thanks for reporting. It appears to be a bug (we'll work on fixing it). If you uncheck Show Title in properties, it works fine (with absolute layout). You can also use Vertical or Horizontal Box with absolute layout.

You can also do this. Uncheck Show Title, position the controls inside as you need. Then, check Show Title back. It will keep the layout.

Even if I uncheck "Show Title" the images still snap-to-grid and position it below the text. I have checked/unchecked it and tried to arrange it how I want, and it's always snapping to the grid, without Absolute Layout functionality

You need set layout to absolute, if not, it will snap to a position (even when the bug is fixed). Let me know if this helps.

Hi, could you please tell me how to set position to absolute, as described above?

Use CSS absolute positioning

Yes, I understand that I can manually enter the CSS code for absolute positioning. However, I was wondering how I can use absolute positioning within the drag and drop builder. I want to be able to just drag components from the pallet into place with absolute positioning.
