Assuption is that dialog windows, hen they come up, should dynamically resize to show all of their contents rather than requiring user to resize themselves. In this kind of testing in nb in past, many issues were found. Since nb allows larger fontsizes to be used, and since localization results in many strings being up to 30% longer than in english, this is not just an i18n kind of situation. Since resize situation depends on fontsize and monitor size, the details of a given window resize issue can vary from not seeing a small bit of some text to actual parts of a window, like a label or textfield, not being able to be seen at all when the window appears. Also, l10n should not need to customize size of any window in bundle file. We found that using fontsize of 18 was still a reasonable font size that might be used - in testing I used fs of 16 with pseudo localized strings. Team suggested I file just one issue on all resize issues seen in profiler, thats why all in this issue. images attached show windows on orignal invocation, as well as some "after resize" images, to show what is missing, but for many images, its clear from the original invocation image what is not all being shown. windows reported on are main profiler tasks window (where you choose what kind of profiling to do) global settings specify root methods select methods edit custom profiling telemetry overview (in bottom area where output window usually lives) new custom profiling specify code fragment view section of the controls/status/results/etc window on left

additional comments: zh localization hardcodes fontsize to size 14 anyway, due to some unix font resoultion issues, but any user can run ide at any fontsize, although we have found that reasonable limit is around 16 or 18. for the part about cant see the threads button in the view window (view.cantseethreads.gif) - resizing that window in ide horizontally does show the threads button, but the question is, why can't it just show fully underneath the vm telemetry button without needing to enlarge the window just for that - I do realize that for main ide window, resize rules dont apply as they do for dialogs - although am wondering also if a horizontal sbar could be added to this profiler window as is added to so many other main ide parts, like editor and file explorer, when needed. Also, on default showing of this same window, the live results button is not seen, perhaps it could go under the take snapshot button. (here again a horiz sbar could be helpful). ken.frank@sun.com 10/02/2005
Assigning to Jirka for M10
1/ Select Profiling Task dialog - this is too complex to fix now, larger reimplementation is required. Won't be fixed in 1.0. Tracked in separate Issue 71125. 2/ Small telemetry graphs (legend) - wontfix. The legend should be minimal/as short as possible (abbreviations can be used), more items information/description is provided in docs. It won't be good practice to make small telemetry graphs even smaller because of multiline legend. 3/ Profiler Control Panel now shows horizontal toolbar as needed. 4/ Dynamic resizing of these dialogs was fixed: - Find - Quick Filter - Global Filters - Defined Filter Sets - Selected Root Methods - Manual Select Method - Select Method from project - Select Code Fragment - New Custom Configuration - Advanced Custom Configuration Settings Fixed for M12.
