Created attachment 108945 [details]
menu items are sometimes overwapped in small screen

Is there any way to disable(dismiss) quick search text field on menubar?

I posted a question to forum but there is no answer yet.

  http://netbeans-org.1045718.n5.nabble.com/How-to-dismiss-quicksearch-textfield-from-menubar-td4365400.html

Each menu on localized NetBeans is sometimes longer than English so
menu items are overwrapped when quick search text field is displayed.
I'd like to disable it or move to toolbar like NetBeans 6.9.

I'm on Mac, so I don't have quick search in menu, so I cannot try it myself, but you can try this:
Shut down the IDE, then go into the config subdir of your NB user dir. Create a subdirectory Menu, and in it create empty file "org-netbeans-modules-quicksearch-QuickSearchAction.shadow_hidden" and restart the IDE.
Did it help?

Hi Jan,

I tried it on Windows - it works! It's great!

Thank you very much!
