Description esmithbss 2009-08-07 23:08:31 UTC
When working on NetBeans, I have had opportunities where I have loaded all of the plugins; however, I am also working on
a small (netbook) screen where the maximum vertical resolution is < 800px.  In this situation some of the menus are too
tall to fit completely on the screen.  At the same time, the menus don't scroll up or down to provide access to all of
the menu items.

What would be nice is for the menu system to determine what the maximum resolution of the screen is, limit the menus to
that vertical height, and  either provide a scrolling capability, or split the menu across multiple columns so those of
us who use netbooks and smaller screens can easily use NetBeans.
