Created attachment 154885 [details] Picture showing the current behavior Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.1 Beta (Build 201507231027) Java: 1.8.0_60-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.60-b23 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_60-ea-b25 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1250; en_US (nb) User directory: C:\Users\cendrowiczm\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.1beta Cache directory: C:\Users\cendrowiczm\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\8.1beta Test Case --> http://services.netbeans.org/synergy/client/app/#/case/2377/suite/425/v/1 According to expected result I should see, in bold, parts for ALL result items. Actually only the part in the first item is in bold. See picture. Either it is a bug or the test case should be adjusted. Part becomes bold for particular item when it is being manually selected (by mouse click or arrow keys).
The specification is not actual, I will fix it In 8.1 there were new setting introduced for adjusting highlighting in Go To Symbol dialog, see Options dialog - Editor - Go To
I see now :) However I do have one more feeling - when "Highlight Using" is set to "Bold Font" this bold parts are almost invisible for the first look. The difference between normal & bold parts inside one match item is visible only when carefully looking on this match item.
Can be set in the options as already explained by Jirka. Regarding the boldness of the bold font :-) it depends on OS font type. The JLabel just passes <b>text</b>.
