This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Could you please widen the description field. It's really awkward to type text and paste readable sample code into something this narrow.
Are you referring to the "Additioal Comments" field in issuezilla? Assume so but would like to be sure. I would think it might more appropriate to attach sample code to the issue as a file to preserve its characteristics. However, I can inquire about widening the field if desired once I am certain which one you refer to. Also which browser are you using?
On a fresh bug the field is titled "Description". Subsequently it's titled "Additional Comments". I just checked and Description is a bit narrower than Additional Comments. For example see my initial Description below and how it's narrower than your Additional Comments. I think both deserve to approach 80 columns. Sometimes you want to interject comments, or draw <----------'s in the sample code. Attachments aren't always the best. I'm using NS 4.79.

It's been ~ 2 years ... You managed to revamp the netbeans web look and feel twice in this time, the second time wrecking it such that my netscape gets blank pages and you can't widen a textfield? Look, bugs aren't about fields and records but about well written descriptions. They are the gist of the communication in a bug report. If we can't write good bug reports, when the main description is hard to read as you type it in, when you have to battle the browsers puny text editor which doesn't wrap they way you want and can't do auto-indent ... you get poor communication and completely defeat the whole purpose of issuezilla. I'm reopening this because I think I have a very valid point notwithstanding that no-one else might've complained.
Sorry to wreck the site for you Ivan. Not sure what you mean about blank pages/widening text fields, perhaps you should file an issue or include some more specific details. Pls bear in mind my comments on nbdiscuss about the new design not working well for very old browsers. The "Additional Comments" textarea in an already open issue is 70 chars wide, which I think is perfect. The "Description" textarea for a new issue is just 50 chars, which I think is too small. Since these values are hardcoded in IssueZilla's cgi, they are not something that we (Sun) can change ourselves, but would need to ask CollabNet to do. AFAIK they have been fixed at these values since the launch of nb.org. We could try tweaking these with CSS (and had done so before, eg see issue 34967) but I think a better soloution would be to change the source html, or at least give the IZ textareas a unique css id we can address. Collab, I believe we have discussed this a long time ago, but I don't recall the outcome - can we either change the initial Description field width to 70 chars, same as the Additional Comments field is, or give both textareas a unique css id that we could style via our css file ? Thanks.
This issue is planned to be fixed in Danube release of SC. - Priya
Updating whiteboard.
*** Issue 49048 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
I vote for this issue. When entering a new issue, I can only insert 49 characters per line - it's way too low. For additional comments it allows 69 characters - much better, but I would suggest at least 80 characters in both cases. Testing: 111111111122222222223333333333444444444455555555556666666666777777777 788888888889999999999000000000011111111112222222222333333333344444444 44555555555566666666667777777777888888888899999999990000000000
I couldn't find a roadmap on either sourcecast.com or collab.net, so I've no idea when "Danube" is planned. Collab, considering the age of this issue (over 2 years!!!), and the (apparent) simplicity of the fix, is there any chance we can address this sooner ?
Jack: I have updated the internal issue for knowing the possibility of applying this in IZ. Will update again once i get the response from the engineer. Thanks, Priya
This won't make it into IZ. This is considred for Hudson (Q2, 2005) in the PT module(successor to IZ). Have updated the Keywords accordingly. Would also help to have a business impact to determine the criticality of this issue. Otherwise we will go with the values set in the keywords. Marking this as RESOLVED->REMIND.
As this issue is specific to IZ, we can find the difference in description field width in 2.6 than we had in 1.1.3 so can verify this as soon as NB is up on the staging site. As Ani mentioned this can be expected for PT in the Hudson release whihc this issue is not covering about. So i am moving this 2.6 issues list for verifying int he upgrade.
Moving this to 2.6 issue verification list.
This shold be fixed now with this upgrade.
Hallelujah!
We recently moved out from Collabnet's infrastructure
