Description Ken Frank 2008-07-04 18:04:18 UTC
see gifs for more details

using pseudo localized nb, at 14 pt font
java formatting section

Assumption - have resized the middle section to make it as big as 
possible (though imo it means that the sample code section
on right is very small, even though it has horiz sbar, its still
very small and means user does not get a clear vie

if not resize the middle section, then the problems
described here even more visible and other problems are seen.

1. category: alignment and braces item in dropdown default
does not show entire label

2. alignment and braces category, multiline alignment section
the labels for check boxes on left side don't show all, and again
the middle section has been resized as big as possible.

3. braces placement tab - the dropdown items don't show all 

its not about length of the strings that don't show all contents
but about usually hard coding of string length and/or not using
layout managers in way to avoid these situations.

This is implemented according to ui spec. Is this issue breaking some known language?
Ondro, please review this issue and either update spec. or close this issue. Thanks.
Comment 4 Ken Frank 2008-07-11 16:16:06 UTC
from my understanding of ui guidelines and policy, these things mentioned
are problems.

and as mentioned, its not about any known language having a problem 
since various languages are translated and we don't want to wait for some
actual problem, which has been seen in past for various resize problems
but its about hardcoding size of window or object, and that is not per policy,
vs using layout managers or other api/processes to have objects within window
or window itself dynamically resize as needed.

olangr, please don't update a spec about this before discussing with wider audience
and please cc me about this.

redesign to use dropdown and not tabs looks good and I don't see
any resize problems. am verifying.
