Description kaa 2008-09-29 20:23:59 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200809280201)
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. Open Tools -> Options dialog
2. Choose Misc -> Visual Web

The dialog doesn't resize to show all messages. See image.

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.

Reassigning to visualweb for evaluation.
Comment 3 Peter Zavadsky 2008-09-30 18:24:55 UTC 
Yes, there is a bad UI implementation. It seems there is used some fixed width (which fits only for certain font and
language). Investigating the code.
Comment 4 Peter Zavadsky 2008-10-01 00:25:28 UTC 
Fixed.
