What can I do to achieve this layout?
Code: [Select]+---------------------------+
| Label1            Button1 |
| Label2    (Still) Button1 |
+---------------------------+
I mean that Button1 is vertically centered between Label1 and Label2.

Only 1 panels needed

Code: [Select]----------
| Label1  |
|           |    Button1
| Label2  |
----------

The box is panel1 => use the anchor editor, and set button1 top-anchor
to be center aligned to panel1 (center align will affect top and
bottom, if set to either one of them)

No panel is needed, you can use the form as a reference system. Place
3 labels vertically, select them all, and space them equally
(vertical). Now select them all (again) and do a vertical Align|Center
in window. Place your button to the right and do a vertical
Align|Center in window on it. Delete the middle label and select the
two labels and button to move them as a group.

I took Martin_fr's suggestion.

@Troodon:
I bet it won't work cross widgetset, i.e opening the project on
different OS will make it look different (perhaps with a broken view).
I use auto/childsizing to ensure it looks the same everywhere.
