There is min limit for installer dialog. If dialog resized below this limit using bottom or right side -- it works fine. If using left or top size -- dialog jumps to new position.
Why do you thing it is a bug? What behavior do you expect?
I expect same resizing result for left side as for right side (also top/bottom).
Why do you expect such behavior? Have you ever seen it before? Is it specified somewhere? Actually when I change the location of the left upper corner of the window I expect it moves since it is a normal way to move windows. Did you try to reproduce it on Linux/Solaris?
Because this is normal default behavior for all windows. Did you ever really try to move any dialog using edge or corner not title? One example of same behavior is enough.
I've investigated the problem. For JDK6 everything is ok since setMinimumSize() was fixed in mustang(b51) (http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4320050). But for JDK5 it still doesn't work. A workaround that is described in many forums is used for JDK5 (http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6464548, ). Everyone uses it. All my attempts to change a location of the window as appellant expects failed because of the another JDK bug (http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4945981). So, close a bug as WONFIX.
