[ BUILD # : 200510131800 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_03 ] I think it is good if code completor allow users to resize it and then it remember that new size. It will help to see all possibilities better , specially when there are long items in code completer.
The maximum width of the completion window is currently set to ~260 pixels - by far too little if you have a 1600x1200 resolution! An editor setting option to set the maximum size would already be sufficient to solve this problem, I guess. See the "Javadoc Preferred Size" property of the Java editor settings for such an options entry.
I think i could not describe my purpose correctly. imagine that code completer is open , it should allow user to resize it by hisher mouse , for example get one corner and resize it as an ordinary windows.
Yes, and it should retain its resized position.
Updating to reflect the fact that this feature still does not exist, in NetBeans 6.7.1 on either Linux or Windows. I will attach a screenshot which illustrates why this is necessary. In it, you can see that there are two versions of the "createBooleanToStringConverter" method available, but there is no way to tell them apart from the code completion window. I can understand that the window does not resize itself to accomodate a larger value as I mouse down through the list, but it really should allow me to resize the window on my own if I want.

It would also be cool it the size will be persisted and used for the next invocation.
