Description kaa 2008-06-18 17:13:52 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200806141203)
Java: 1.6.0_06; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b22
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; MS932; ja_JP (nb)
I'm running in the Japan locale, using a pseudo localized Netbeans with font size 16.

Steps:
1. Select Services tab in the Ide
2. Choose Databases node
3. Open New Connection dlg from the pop-up menu

The dialog doesn't resize to show all of 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.

I am using a layout manager and I have looked at the properties for the labels that aren't working and they seem to be
configured exactly the same as the properties for labels that *are* working.  I am a bit stumped...
Comment 4 David Vancouvering 2008-06-19 01:02:39 UTC 
OK, reproduced the problem and found the cause - some labels had a hardcoded horizontal size instead of being set to
"Default".  

Checking in change, will mark as fixed when the changeset is pushed to mani.
