[dev nov 8] I often find that the "Go To Class" dialog (Alt-Sh-O) is much narrower than it ought to be. E.g. while working on the minicomposer API example, I open the dialog and type "Sampled". This narrows it down to: org.netbeans.examples.modules.minicomposer.Sa.... org.netbeans.examples.modules.minicomposer.Sa.... org.netbeans.examples.modules.minicomposer.Sa.... Of course it is possible to scroll right using the mouse, or by pressing Tab and then Right, but this is inconvenient; it is a very common operation to use Fast Open, and normally you just want to type the letters of the class name, and use Up/Down to select. If you Tab into it you can use Up/Down to select but you also have to Sh-Tab to type more letters. It would be nicer if the dialog were simply wider, in which case most class names with package would fit, without needing to scroll. And/or make the dialog automatically scroll to the right when typing letters; generally you can find the class you want by the the class name and the last component or two of the package name, anyway; prefixes such as "org." or "java." are not very useful in distinguishing classes.
I, in all cases, vote for automaticall scroll.
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Set target milestone to TBD
Come on guys...this is a no-brainer fix and has been around for two years now. It is an annoying problem in a much used feature.
"Version" fields should not be modified unless it comes to light that the original value was a mistake. "3.3 dev" means it was a problem in the 3.3 development trunk and presumably remains a problem.
The issue has been already fixed - issue #34964 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 34964 ***
