Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200806220002) 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 option. Steps: 1. Create WebApp then add a breakpoint somewhere 2. Debug the project Several windows were opened by the debugger. I could see Watches, Local Variables and Breakpoints. The second one had its title not completely visible. I wasn't able to resize the header manually. 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.

Ken, this is not specific to the JavaScript Debugger. I just give these windows a Model. The debugger system offered by Netbeans is the one to actually create and localize these windows. Can someone check if these labels are hard coded.
This is the default behavior of the NetBeans window system. If the tab is not fully visible, you have the tooltip, which displays the whole name. Moving to window system for evaluation.
What more winsys can do here? Nothing i would think. If you are running with fontsize 16 and you have limited space, it's clear that you'll run into these problems. There is nothing we can do on infrastructure side (window system). The only solution I see is to show less tabs and/or shorten display names. Passing back, as as this is not winsys issue as I explained.
I agree that the tooltip makes sense. But the possibility to resize the header manually looks better (imho). If this is expected behavior of the NetBeans window system then close the issue as wontfix.
We do not care about tab sizes in debugger. It's a window system issue. And it has absolutely nothing to do with localization. English titles are shortened as well. Closing as WONTFIX.
Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
