Description bnowak1 2015-09-24 20:00:30 UTC
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 201411181905)
Operating System = Windows 8.1 version 6.3 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_60
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.60-b23

Activating (check-box) the "Show Full Pathnames" causes UI to limit the window resizing which can be very distracting and difficult when looking at multiple files split across the window.

For instance if I have two windows split horizontally and the left panel has an long full-path, you are not able to shift the divider past the end of the full path text which can obscure the code on the right panel.
