I'm running in Japanese locale, using a pseudo localized Netbeans with font size 16 option.

I saw multi line tooltip in front of a "bulb" in java code editor. Sometimes it has long messages and they are not
properly visible. There was a separate tooltip for each of them but the content is a bit different. Probably the size of
the tooltip is fixed.


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.
