Description kaa 2008-07-24 16:18:44 UTC
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20080721233246)
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 Japanese locale, using a pseudo localized Netbeans with font size 16 option. 

1. Create Web App
2. Select the project
3. Press, for example, Shift + A

Quick Search message appears at the top right conner of the Projects tab.
The message is not entirely visible. I couldn't resize the window to show it.

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.
