Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 0710) 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. 1. Start bundled MySQL server 2. Select test database 3. Choose Connect... from the pop-up menu New Database Connection dialog appears. It doesn't resize to show 'Additional Props' label properly. The label looks overlapped with a text area. 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.

Yes, I know this problem. I agree it's probably a P2. I have been *struggling* with Matisse to get it to do this correctly, it is *so* annoying.
Actually, John, maybe you know how to fix this quickly, so I'll reassign to you. I think I'm missing something with how to work with Matisse.
I may have a fix to make "Additional Props:" fit. It looks like the vertical spacing for the "Remember Password" checkbox was a little too tight. However, with my fix the width of the textfield for "Additional Props:" is a little shorter (at runtime) than the other textfields. If there's a preference they are the same size then the other textfields width can be shortened.

Andrey, can you verify the fix and update this issue?
