Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803231202) System: WinXP, font size 16, ja_JP Steps: 1. Create Enterprise App 2. Select the project node on Projects tab 3. Open from the pop-up menu Find dialog The dialog doesn't resize to show its text. See image. 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.

This dialog is shown for any project type. Not sure where it is implemented though - passing to projects for now. Please reassign if necessary. Thanks, -D
Setting sane priority. Text in parentheses just specifies what is selected, the main title "Selection" is visible OK. Reassigning to utilities/search for evaluation.
The information in the parenthesis is supplementary and I have never expected it to be always fully visible. If the dialogue was automatically resized so the whole name of the selected node fits to it, it might happen (and it would certainly happen quite frequently) that the dialogue would be very wide which would be worse than the current design. The current design is not a result of my ignorance of A11Y or I18N (I use even larger fonts than those on the screenshot). I do not plan to change the current design unless I hear some strong arguments for doing so. Ken, what do you think about this issue?
I agree with Marian's comments that if the string in parenthesis was never meant to show all of it even in en locale at larger fonts, then its ok that it not show all of that part when its translated also, since it appears that the main part of label does show ok when using pseudo localized at larger fonts. ken.frank@sun.com
Thank you for the comments. I mark this bug as invalid.
