Created attachment 138541 [details] Ide image with Expression Evaluator opened When Expression evaluator is open, the Evaluate button is not visible.
The preferred and minimum size of the CodeEvaluator component is fixed by changeset: 261298:75ae6fcff53d http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/75ae6fcff53d IMHO it's a defect in the Window System, that it does not take the preferred size of the component into account. In ModeView.updateAWTHierarchy(), the component is asked for it's preferred size, but then 0 is set as ModePanel's preferred size. MultiSplitCell.maybeResetToInitialSize sets the new required size to 38, since getSize() is 0. But the component's preferred size should be 77 (it's actually 0 after it's set to 0 by ModeView.updateAWTHierarchy(). The component's minimum size is 66. The Window System should respect the preferred and/or minimum size of the component IMHO. After the Evaluator window is resized, it can not be made smaller then it's minimum size. This is expected. But the initial size can be smaller and this is a defect IMHO.
