./NetBeansIDE-dev-200402221900-ismp5-linux.bin =============================================== If installer running on jdk1.5 then the license text is too big. See the Screenshot
Created attachment 13569 [details] Big license text on jdk1.5
I've tried a couple of things to try and resize the pane contents but they didn't work: editorKit = editorPane.getEditorKit(); css = editorKit.getStyleSheet(); css.setBaseFontSize(3); // 3 equates to font point size 12 css.addRule("body {font-size : 12pt; }"); Will write java bug if one doesn't exits.
I've contacted the java folks about this issue. They're looking into it but most likely they will not have a fix for 1.5 but they may have a workaround for me. I'm going to sit on this till the end of the week. If nothing is forthcoming by then, I'll waive this.
I got word today that the JEditorPane was fixed in jdk 1.5 to show the correct point size. This problem should be resolved in 1.5 fcs unless another beta shows up.
Waiver approved.
Thanks George for informing us about fix in jdk1.5
George, is this something that should be release noted? It was my impression that the installer doesn't run on 1.5 beta anyway. Just making sure....
The installers DO run with jdk 1.5. There were some bugs that have since been fixed. So it wouldn't hurt to mention that the fonts size can be larger with jdk 1.5 on some panels. The problem was fixed and I'm assuming it will get into the 1.5 fcs build. It would be nice to see another beta or RC that has the fix so we know for sure before fcs.
Actually, having just looked at the screenshot for the first time :-), this problem doesn't seem fatal (the license can be read), just a little strange and annoying. I don't think I will note it.
This is due to peculiar html text rendering in GTK+, Touched swing components are JEditorPane and JTextPane. Working on workaround.
JDK bug has been submitted (5060568). There's a workaround - to suppress the ISMP usage of system look and feel theme. Nevertheless it doesn't work on all OS (like SuSE 9.1). Moreover I prefere to use GTK+ on Linux to have a chance to discover all potential inconsistencies related to this theme.
*** Issue 43987 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
this is fixed in the new installer which uses Metal for all non-Windows platform. No GTK ever
Yap, in the latest NB(4.0)dev #200407270649-linux-27_Jul_2004_0649 it is OK
