I feel the problem is with the gridbag constraints weight or something..
Pls try if this piece of code works

public class JFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
   
    /** Creates new form JFrame */
    public JFrame() {
        initComponents();
    }
   
    /** This method is called from within the constructor to
     * initialize the form.
     * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is
     * always regenerated by the Form Editor.
     */
    private void initComponents() {
        java.awt.GridBagConstraints gridBagConstraints;
 
        jComboBox1 = new javax.swing.JComboBox();
        jTable1 = new javax.swing.JTable();
 
        getContentPane().setLayout(new java.awt.GridBagLayout());
 
        addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
                exitForm(evt);
            }
        });
 
        jComboBox1.setModel(new javax.swing.DefaultComboBoxModel(new String[] { "one", "two", "three" }));
        getContentPane().add(jComboBox1, new java.awt.GridBagConstraints());
 
        jTable1.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(
            new Object [][] {
                {"sdfs", "dfsdf", "sdfsd", "fsd"},
                {"fsd", "dfdsfsd", "fsdfs", "fsdfs"},
                {null, "fsd", "fsd", "dfs"},
                {"fsdfsd", "fsd", "dfsdfsd", "dfs"}
            },
            new String [] {
                "Title 1", "Title 2", "Title 3", "Title 4"
            }
        ));
        gridBagConstraints = new java.awt.GridBagConstraints();
        gridBagConstraints.gridx = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.gridy = 1;
        gridBagConstraints.fill = java.awt.GridBagConstraints.BOTH;
        gridBagConstraints.weightx = 1.0;
        gridBagConstraints.weighty = 1.0;
        getContentPane().add(jTable1, gridBagConstraints);
 
        pack();
    }
   
    /** Exit the Application */
    private void exitForm(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
        System.exit(0);
    }
   
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        new JFrame().show();
    }
   
   
    // Variables declaration - do not modify
    private javax.swing.JTable jTable1;
    private javax.swing.JComboBox jComboBox1;
    // End of variables declaration
   
}

Hello,

In your code the problem is not the panel, but the way you add it to the frame.
So, in the main function, instead of getRootPane(), use getContentPane().

See below:

   public static void main(String[]args)
   {
       JFrame tstf =new JFrame("test");
       tstf.getContentPane().setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
       GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
       
       gbc.gridx= gbc.gridy = 0;
       gbc.fill = java.awt.GridBagConstraints.BOTH;
       gbc.fill=gbc.BOTH;
       gbc.weightx=gbc.weighty=1;
       tstf.getContentPane().add(new CallTiketPnl(),gbc);
       tstf.pack();
       tstf.show();
       tstf.setDefaultCloseOperation(tstf.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   }


Best Regards,
            sey.
