Resizing issues

           Summary: Resizing issues
           Product: JMeter
           Version: Nightly (Please specify date)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: jmeter-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jeremy_a@bigfoot.com


JMeter's resizing behavior isn't ideal.  In particular, if your JMeter window is
large, and then you switch to a new component, then make the window smaller, the
component will not resize.  Instead, scrollbars will appear and the component
will remain the same size.

The cause of this behavior is in the MainFrame class.  When a new component is
selected, it will set the component's preferred size to the current available
space.  Since the component is inside a scrollpane, this means that the
component will never resize below this currently available space, resulting in
the behavior described above.

The fix for this in MainFrame is quite simple.  But unfortunately, many of the
JMeter components rely on this behavior to get a reasonable initial size.  So
several other components need to be updated when this change is made.

The patch I'm attaching includes the MainFrame fix as well as adjustments to
several other components which obviously needed it.  I took a quick look at each
of the components and I think I caught all of the key ones, but I can't promise
that all of the components will start with a reasonable size and resize properly
after this fix.  If you find a component that is not correct, please let me know
and I'll work on it.
