Description esmithbss 2010-03-16 17:11:11 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201003160201)
Operating System = Linux version 2.6.32-trunk-686 running on i386
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_18
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 16.0-b13

When using NetBeans 6.9 (and at least all versions back to 6.1), Many of the dialogs that pop-up are larger than the common screensize for a NetBook (1024x600).

Since many development projects are moving towards lighter weight platforms like slates, pads, and netbooks it would make sense that all dialogs dynamically determine the proper dialog height instead of creating dialogs that stretch off the bottom of the display.
