[jira] [Comment Edited] (NETBEANS-765) HiDPI resolution of
3840x2160 results in tiny icons and text fields that are too small for the
text within
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-765?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16564540#comment-16564540 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------
I've now used NetBeans for about three weeks on a Windows-based HiDPI screen (2560x1440, tried with the OS-level scaling setting set to both 150% and 200%). This actually works quite well! There are plenty of small bugs, especially when connecting and disconnecting an external non-HiDPI monitor, or when moving windows between HiDPI and non-HiDPI screens, but I could usually figure out ways to work around these.
It's essential to run the IDE on a recent JDK version, though. I used OpenJDK 10.0.0.1+9. I also tried to use Java 8; in the latter case NetBeans became much less usable, with a mix of tiny and regular-sized controls, controls that don't fit in their dialog box, and such.
I also observed that even even the latest version of Microsoft Office, which we should expect to be the "gold standard" of Windows applications, also has a few similar HiDPI-related bugs.
