Screen Grab

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.1 (Build 201510222201)
Java: 1.8.0_72; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.72-b15
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_72-b15
System: Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_GB (nb)

This is a cause of frequent irritation... and should be easily fixed.

The component code editor window is by default MUCH too small - see attached screen grab.

It would be preferable if having increased the size of the default window the IDE could 'remember' the size for the next time the component code editor is used.

Preferred size of code editor..

On my system, I usually increase the editor to about this size:
1268 x 807
