Run with -fontsize 24 and bring up project properties dialog - public packages table and others are squished to complete invisibility. There's no really nice way to solve this if you don't want to instantiate all the panels ahead of time and compute their preferred sizes; best I can think of is to calculate the ratio between the preferred size of the most complex panel in the dialog, to that of each other panel, and use it as a multiplier for the preferred size of all but the largest panel - and update it as needed. FWIW you can detect if -fontsize is being used - Integer val = UIManager.get ("customFontSize") will be non-null. But probably this is equally a problem on any Windows machine with large fonts set for the desktop, so the best solution may just be some sort of fudge factor included in calculating the dlg's preferred size.
I think this is a duplicate of issue 65190 I filed some time ago. It is a general problem of Project UI API (try e.g. j2se project properties). I already played with this in the past. I attached the patch for p.uiapi and for apisupport into that issue. I think that the patch uses some preferred size choosen by the developer and then dynamically increases the size to a needed one with remembering the largest needed. Not sure know. Was just a fast proposal for Honza Lahoda. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 65190 ***
I wonder if we don't need a general multiplier you can pass to DialogDisplayer.showDialog() or such, for cases like this...seems we have a lot of dialogs with similar problems...
