I hope this can help you.

first set the masterPanel layout to null.

masterPanel.setLayout(null);

when you set the containers layout to null remember to set every object within the container bounds. like so.

masterPanel mP = new masterPanel();
mP .setLayout(null);
insidePanel iP = new insidePanel();
iP.setBounds(0, 0, 20, 20);
mP.add(iP);

A JPanel has no reason to move unless you use its setLocation( ... ) method to set it to a different location.

kind regards,
