Description Marian Mirilovic 2005-07-21 15:16:31 UTC 
NB.dev(build form sources 20050721-1500), JDK 6.0(b43)

Steps to reproduce:
- run IDE
- create new JFrame
-> component palette shows components in one column
- hide/show names
-> component palette shows components in two columns
Comment 1 Stanislav Aubrecht 2005-07-21 15:32:44 UTC 
according to palette's ui spec the number of columns for palette items changes
dynamically according to palette window width and item size (show names/no names).

Comment 2 Marian Mirilovic 2005-07-21 15:50:11 UTC 
Standa, I haven't changed anything, I've just hided/shown names, no size of the
Component palette hasn't been changed.

It 's like:
-> Status A
- hide names
- show names
-> Status B

Status A != Status B , why ?
Comment 3 Stanislav Aubrecht 2005-07-21 16:04:36 UTC 
ok, got it.

the problem is that the column width for items in a category may differ slightly
depening on whether the scrollbar is visible or not.
Comment 4 Stanislav Aubrecht 2005-11-24 15:53:05 UTC 
i'm not able to reproduce this issue anymore. it may have already been resolved
by fixing issue #67912 (component layout & validation problem)

please reopen if you can still reproduce this issue.
Comment 5 Marian Mirilovic 2005-11-29 13:45:39 UTC 
Standa, I am sorry but this is still reproducible. I'll attach the screenshot
before and after :
- run IDE
- create new project
- create JFrame
-> save Screenshot-before.png
- hide names in palette
- show names in palette
-> save Screenshot-after.png

i don't know any easy fix for this issue, there's a lot of swing's preferred size calculations...
