Using pseudo localized product, with each message or label having additional multibyte text, and using -fontsize 16 option, running in Chinese locale, the words "Existing Project" dont show fully as seen in the attachment. Chinese localization will use a larger font than default one now used so these issues will be more visible to them, but this can also be viewed as a general or a11y issue since may be visible to users in english locale who use larger fonts. Assumption is that user should be able to see all items in a given window when it appears and should not need to resize it to see those things. That is, the UI area or window should dynamically resize itself to show the needed contents. (this does not apply to contents of textfields, areas controlled by scrollbars or vertical resizing controls like in options window) To emulate in non multibyte locale without multibyte in messages or longer messages, you may need to run with fontsize 18 or 20 to see what we are seeing with fontsize 16. Even with larger sizes, it may not be seen exactly the same due to the effect of multibyte and longer strings. This issue is marked with the FONTSIZE keywork; bugs so marked will not appear on quality dashboards and will not need to be waived or fixed for English FCS products of this release. For Netbeans issues, this will be marked as blocking 33246.

Is it ok to fix this for 4.0 release or should it be fixed for 3.5 as well?
I think goal is to fix this for the ML 3.5 or nevada releases; I suggest asking your PL or management to be clear on it, as I don't know official decision yet. ken.frank@sun.com
