On OS X this is slightly different. There is no Help -> About, instead the "About NetBeans" (no ellipsis) is in the "NetBeans" application menu. It matches other OS X apps by not having an ellipsis. There is no "Tools -> Options" instead there is the "Preferences..." item in the "NetBeans" application menu. It has an ellipsis. This is the standard location and text for OS X. The other items are the same. |
[ BUILD # : 201401090002 ] [ JDK VERSION : <1.7.0_25 ] ACTUAL There are some menu items that: 1) have ellipses ("...") and open non-modal dialogs. E.g.: "Edit -> Find in Projects..." 2) have ellipses and open modal dialogs. E.g.: "Refactor -> Copy..." 3) have no ellipses and open non-modal dialogs. E.g.: "Tools -> Options" 4) have no ellipses and open modal dialogs. E.g.: "Help -> About" EXPECTED I guess there should be some consistency with the use of ellipses, according to NB Graphical User Interface guidelines
