This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
1) Open the "Project Properties" dialog. 2) Click on "Compiling Sources. 3) Add enough (in number and path length) entries that would cause both a horizontal and vertical scroll bar to be displayed. The horizontal scroll bar will not show if there is a vertical scroll bar.
Not sure if it's projects issue or java/project one.
OK Just tried on J2SE project and did not repoduce it. If it was meant for another project type. Please reopen and reassign.

Created attachment 19341 [details] Screen shot showing horizontal scrollbar
This is a web project. Reporter, next time please provide adequate instructions to reproduce a problem.
Oops. My appologies.
I think it's as designed. Tooltip shows full path. I don't think we are able to show scrollbar and ensure that the checkboxes will be visible too.
I do not agree this is OK, we should figure out how to add the scroll bar. Maybe put the checkbox to the left or something. Jano, please advice and reassign to rnajman (or me) to fix. Thanks.
This is a limitation of table component that is used. We can move the deploy column to the left and make the horizontal scroll bar visible (which would require the table columns to stretch according to the widest value in the column). This might work in this case but not for other cases where we use the table component (like the source/test packages lists). Because important columns might be hidden due to the horizontal scrolling. Another option is to use our treetable component which allows the horizontal scrolling of the tree column (or list column). The way it is used in debugger. I don't think this is the right approach in a dialog. In general, if we use the table component all columns can have the "space problem". I think the right solution for this problem would be to abbreviate the values in a different way and provide a common place where the selected value appears fully visible. Something like: The full path: "/home/user/projects/myproject/lib/mylib.jar" would be abbreviated to: /home/user/.../lib/mylib.jar" and would be fully visible in the status line if it is selected. Other products use the status line for showing detailed information for selected objects and if this is used consistently the user would learn to look at it if needs more information. For 4.1, I would keep this issue open.
Reassigning to web team for evaluating if the proposal in the previous comment can be implemented.
This issue has been already fixed by issue #58200. There is a possibily to resize column width and if the width is bigger than table width, horizontal scrollbar will appear. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 58200 ***
