Description andrew 2001-11-03 19:15:51 UTC
w2k, Sun's JDK 1.3.1_01a, beta 3, SDI, Windows L&F

1. Explorer, New, Class, Class, enter name "Ab"
   (something short)
2. Type in new method with looong name, like
   "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab"
3. Put cursor inside "long" method
4. See toolbar - it's width doesn't refresh

I am not sure whether it is a bug, but anyway, I am reassigning to java module, where the toolbar is 
implemented.
Comment 2 Svata Dedic 2001-11-08 16:09:43 UTC
I'll look for some reasonable solution... Anyway, resizing when
anything inside the list changes is NOT reasonable :-) Maybe I get the
list relayouted when the current item changes.
Comment 3 Svata Dedic 2001-11-08 16:49:30 UTC
Sorry, I probably cannot fix it the way that the toolbar would resize
itself - the request need to be propagated up to the (unknown) parent
and relayouting the whole TopComponent (== editor window) seems as
performance hurting.
I'll better give the toolbar a width proportional to the editor's
window and think about some tooltips to show signatures that are
trimmed in the dropdown.

Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Comment 5 Svata Dedic 2002-05-21 17:48:13 UTC
Cleaning up before 4.0 planning
Comment 6 Marek Grummich 2002-07-19 16:49:12 UTC
Target milestone was changed from not determined to TBD

On my computer (Windows 2000 SP2, NetBeans 3.4, JDK 
1.3.1_03, screen resolution 2800x1050), the width of the 
dropdown list of members is fixed at 208 pixels wide (too 
small) when the editor is wider than 955 pixels.  However, 
when the editor is less than or equal to 955 pixels in 
width, the drop-down list sizes properly (to around 400 
pixels in width).

So a work-around (for me, at least) is to make my editor 
window <= 955 pixels wide.  This is not _too_ 
inconvenient.  :)

My suggested fix would be to simply size the drop-down 
list to take up all remaining space after the 
find/bookmark/macro buttons have been placed at the top 
right of the editor.

I am not sure if this is a good idea. Dusan, please evaluate or
reassign to a responsible UI engineer.
Comment 9 Jan Becicka 2005-01-14 13:30:12 UTC
Rudolfe, please evaluate. Thanks

Just be aware that the quick browser is most probably going to be
replaced with the code navigator in 4.1.
Comment 11 Jan Becicka 2005-01-27 16:59:03 UTC
Quick browser was replaced by Navigator module
