Description peterhull90 2012-08-15 11:25:04 UTC
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.2 (Build 201207171143)
Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_06
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.2-b09

On the Projects/Files/Classes/Services tab group (on the left) the tab's labels aren't shown at all if the group is quite narrow. It seems to me it would be more useful to display the first letter than show nothing at all. At the moment you need to make the tabs quite wide before it displays 'Ser...' on the services tab.

The issue is still valid and very annoying in platform 8.0.

Patch for setting the clipping mode for tabs, but the clipping does not work correctly. See the screenshot to see what I mean.
