IDEA-32849 Bouncing window
0
Issue is visible to: All Users
  The issue is visible to the selected user group only
When editing a file with a window open under the editor window (i.e the Run, Debug, CVS, Messages, ToDo windows), each time a message (like "missing return statement") is displayed on the message line at the very bottom of the Idea window, the message box appears to grow by a very small, but visible, amount and when the message disapears the message box appears to shrink by the same amount. This change in size causes the Run, Debug, etc. windows to "bounce" as messages appear and disappear in the bottom message window as i type.

Environment: Mac OS X 10.4.7 G5

I experience this problem as well, but not on Mac OS X. Instead I run on Linux (Mandriva 2007), and have set the fonts to size 18. (On a 1920x1200 LCD screen the default Java fonts are a little small...)

Of course this is not a very serious issue, but it is annoying. And I fixed it. Or maybe I should say: I found a workaround ;-)

In the lower right corner of my IDEA main window is a garbage collection icon. This gave me an idea:
  • Pulled this icon from the icons.jar file (actions/gc.jar)
  • Resize the icon canvas from 16x16 to 24x24
  • Put the icon back in the jar.

Et voila, no more bouncing window!
