Description kaa 2008-02-26 17:41:36 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200802191203)
Java: 1.6.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_03-b05
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; MS932; ja_JP (nb)
font size 16

Steps:
1. Try to open a project
2. The wizard appears

It does not resize to show all of its text labels.

Assumption is that user does not need to manually resize most windows or dialogs to see all of the UI objects and
information in them. I'm running in pseudo localized locale in which each message/label is sometimes longer than in
English. To account for that in some locales, translations from English (and some other euro languages) could be shown
with longer strings.

Also I'm running at font size 16, which is viewed as a valid font size that might be used. Resizing issues are not just
related to i18n; they might show to user in English locale if they run at larger font size.

Often, these issues happen because the length of some label or message or size of entire window is hardcoded vs using
layout managers or other techniques or api to have the windows or the objects in them, dynamically resize. Sometimes,
embedding components in a scroll pane will solve the problem.

Dafe, please take a look, it needs to be fixed in directory chooser. Thanks.
Comment 3 David Simonek 2008-03-04 11:44:03 UTC 
looking at it...
Comment 4 David Simonek 2008-03-04 15:49:27 UTC 
fixed in main repo, smarter algorithm implemented, dir chooser now respects accessory's preferred size with some limits
so that dialog is not very small or very large.

Andrey, on solaris I don't see any difference now than from the gif you attached
using pseudo localized at 14 pt font size.

Looks reproducible.
Re-checked also on XP using 0323 build. The issue exists.
