Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.2 (Build 201207171143) Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_06 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.2-b09 When searching for issues the window jumps (moves) left and right, up and down whenever you click on a control. This makes it /extremely/ annoying to use this feature since input windows normally do not jump. When you fill in a value you immediately lose the total overview. How to reproduce: Right click on one of the issue trackers, select the option "Find issues" and in the new window click on a text field (behind summary, comment or whiteboard) and the window contents move to the left. Worse: click on a component (api or api docs) in the "find by product details" section and the window moves up, immediately rendering everything above this section invisible. This makes it /extremely/ bothersome to make sure that you filled out all the right search strings. I really think this makes the whole thing unusable, thus I marked it P2. Esp. since this window (report issue) doesn't behave in this crazy manner.
Reproduced with NetBeans Bugzilla tracker. The form does not align its text fields according to the enclosing window but has a constant width defined, which may easily fail to fit to the enclosing window. This has two negative effects - some UI components get cropped (right button at Keywords line) and moving focus/caret to certain places causes the whole form move as described in this issue. From UEX point of view any such arbitrary moves need to be avoided as they indeed ruin user experience.
a side-effect of bug #162190, IMO
