using pseudo localized nb, 14 pt font, windows or solaris: in the services tab, for mysql server properties window - see gif for a label that does not show completely - using pseudo localized nb to represent that when translated, strings can be longer than in english and that as per official guidelines, user should not need to resize a window to see its complete label or other info - though in this case, resizing does not help. its not about length of the label string but that if its coded with using layout manager wrt dynamic resizing, there is no need for hard coding of sizes or length. Also, see gif, even in english the letters like p or g dont show their lower parts - this might seem silly for english but for asian languages the context of a character is defined such that some missing lower part of the character can cause the character to not be recognized - thus am guessing some more space between lines is needed.

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200810080201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/9b2cb66ecc35 User: Rob Englander <mindstream@netbeans.org> Log: #149177 Make fields properly resize and maintain alignment based on variable content.
reopening since a. fix might have cause problems on the basic tab - 2 labels dont show fully - see the gif b. the bottom of letter g still does not show fully using 1012 build, using 16pt font since its still reasonable font and fix should not depend on font size anyway. * Please waive this for 6.5 since today is code freeze *
The reported bug was for the Admin Properties tab, not the basic tab. The fix had nothing to do with the Basic tab. If you're reporting a bug in the Basic tab, please open a new issue for that. Can you explain in what label the letter "g" is not shown correctly?
Sorry, one more question... I'm confused about your statement that the fix shouldn't depend on font size. Are you just making a general statement, or do you believe the fix made assumptions about font size?
thanks for clarifying, I thought perhaps the fix to the 2nd tab had impacted the first tab; I will verify this one and file new issue. as to the comment about font size, it was just in general; sometimes in these kinds of issues its fixed still using some specific sizes, although bigger than initial sizes, versus coding for dynamic resizing, that, when I saw problem in first tab and thought it was related to fix for 2nd tab, I thought fix might have been related to still using fixed sizes. ken.frank@sun.com

Thanks for explaining. I wanted to be sure I understood too :)
