Description randahl 2003-02-17 10:48:24 UTC

When changing the netbeans startup parameters to launch 
netbeans with a larger font size, it is revealed that many 
of the dialogs have a fixed size. As a result many dialogs 
are unable to display their entire contents correctly. As 
one of many examples the dialog for customizing a grid bag 
layout has this problem.

It is important to be able to run netbeans with a larger 
font size for everyone who has a screen resolution of 
1600x1200 or more which is available on many modern PC  
graphic adapters.

One obvious way to solve this problem would be to use pack 
instead of setSize on all those dialogs.

Randahl, please be concrete. 
Which dialogs ? Write list or start by some which you find, thanks in
advance.

I think that Randahl provided one example:

> As one of many examples the dialog for customizing a grid bag layout
has this problem.

That should be enough to reproduce the problem.

I set font size to 20 and have seen no problems in GridBagLayout
customizer in NB 3.6. I'm don't remember a particular fix being done
in this area, it just works for me now.
