The same for Nimbus L&F.

Jano, Ondro, what do you say? This seems like a legitimate request to me.
Comment 4 Jan Jancura 2008-09-18 09:38:43 UTC 
Can not reproduce on my Ubuntu 8.04+GTK.
Comment 5 Ondrej Langr 2008-09-18 13:52:34 UTC 
Can not reproduce out-of-the-box on Solaris (Nimbus theme) - everything fits into the window by default.

However, the request is certainly valid, for some translations, text can grow up to 50% longer. Let alone netbeans
started with larger fontsize. I see 3 possible solutions: 

1) Dynamically scale the dialog  (up to the screen size) to fit everything inside. This can get problematic with extreme
fontsizes.
2) Add horizontal scrollbars in case text is larger than the window
3) Change the two-column layout into a single column-layout.

I personally suggest option 2) as it scales for extreme font-sizes and long translations.

Comment 7 Milutin Kristofic 2013-01-31 18:23:55 UTC 
The options have changed. There are not these options and therefore it is fixed.
