GridBagBlues #2376234

In the GridBagLayout example that follows, all the panels nest nicely within the frame with no spare space.

Now change the last three lines of the constructor
from
add(panel5, new GBC(3, 1, 1, GBC.REMAINDER));
//add(panel5, new GBC(3, 1, 1, GBC.RELATIVE));
//add(panel6, new GBC(3, 3, 1, 1));
to
//add(panel5, new GBC(3, 1, 1, GBC.REMAINDER));
add(panel5, new GBC(3, 1, 1, GBC.RELATIVE));
add(panel6, new GBC(3, 3, 1, 1));

Now there is a large blank area at the bottom of the frame. Can anyone tell me why?
