Description blake1024 2013-02-15 17:35:51 UTC 
NetBeans 7.3 RC2 on Mac, Preferences screen, Java / Ant tabs.  The "Properties" section has a layout problem making it difficult to work with.  It is set so small that the scroll bars have a problem.  I am using Mac OS 10.6.8.  In 10.7 they changes the way scrollbars look.  So, it may work fine on Mac 10.7 but it doesn't on 10.6.x.

I tested this on OSX 10.8.2 with jdk 1.7.0_13 and the issue with the scrollbars is not there. Please try updating your OSX and/or jdk. Either way if the issue is still there I think you should file a bug against jdk. Thank you

1.  Many people are sticking with OS/X 10.6 because Apple removed the arrows on scrollbars in 10.7 getting ready for tablets.  Loosing those arrows is a problem, and like I said, many people are sticking with 10.6.

2.  I am using the JDK that comes with Mac.  I don't have any other troubles with any other package - just this ONE dialog.  I don't need to update my JDK or report a bug with Oracle.  

3.  The problem is you are coding for an OS that has more space because they got rid of the arrows.  There isn't a wholesale problem everywhere.  There is one problem in ONE place that you can trivially make slightly larger to accommodate users of the older OS.

Come on man.  I am using the version of the OS I use for specific reasons.  Your code only works because of changes Apple made in subsequent updates.  This is trivial for you to adjust.

Does this issue relates to http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=171474
?
Comment 6 blake1024 2013-02-25 15:38:58 UTC 
Same screen, same OS, different problem.  Interestingly, all of the other screens and/or dialogs work fine on the Mac.  This is the only screen with problems.  It must have been written subtly different from the other screens.  It does have problems.  I would think it could be fixed easily.
