When using Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 (xenial), the UI is broken, probably due to GTK and/or font stuff.
When using Metal or darcula theme it works ok.

I used a dev build of NB 8.2 to verify, Java 8u92 from Oracle.

I've got the same issue. I'm on GTK+ 3.20 in combination with Ubuntu 16.04 due to the use of the gnome-staging ppa, in case it's related to a specific version of GTK+. Ubuntu 16.04 ships with GTK+ 3.18 by default .
Comment 6 everflux 2016-07-09 10:49:45 UTC
This seems to be related to the Gnome Font setting.
When not using the (default) Ubuntu Fonts or Cantarell Bold/Regular fonts NetBeans looks ok. It is a work around but pretty invasive to have to change the system fonts.
Comment 7 prodoc 2016-12-08 09:44:07 UTC
The issue remains in Ubuntu GNOME 16.10. It renders Netbeans completely unusable due to the lack of being able to properly navigate through the project/source trees. Changing to a different interface font like Comic Sans in the GNOME settings does indeed serve as a work-around, but this is of course not a solution. Unfortunately it isn't possible to just change the interface font of Netbeans. Only the fontsize can be provided as a start-up parameter.
