Description Martin Krauskopf 2007-07-04 13:31:11 UTC 
Options dialog is unreasonably too large which causes the scrollbars to appear. It is hard to use it then. I'm using two
monitors. Not sure what causes this. Let me now if I can help somehow. Attaching screenshot.

Comment 2 _ leonchiver 2007-07-10 07:47:31 UTC 
i found a way how to reproduce this: 

1) start with an empty userdir (or at least with a configuration where the option dialog appears without scrollbars)
2) open the options dialog
3) maximize it
4) close the options dialog (cancel)
5) reopen it again. from now on you'll have those scrollbars

but only until you

1) go to .${netbeans.user.dir}/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/options
2) delete api.properties
Comment 3 Martin Krauskopf 2007-07-10 08:27:18 UTC 
Thanks for the steps to reproduce and the workaround, Leon. This is exactly what I'm doing quite often, having Alt+F10
mapped to "maximize window" WM action in Fluxbox.
Now it should be eas(y/ier) to fix this, right? ;)
