Too bad we don't have any statistics about NetBeans usage anymore. I also only use my 15" MacBook Pro without any external display. I briefly used an external display for a Linux VM where I had another NetBeans running :-) So, I never use NetBeans in a true multi-display setup.
At least for me, on macOS, the diff window is rather tiny. I can only imagine how tiny it would be if I were to use a 13" MacBook. --emi ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On 13 May 2018 1:33 PM, Christian Lenz <[email protected]> wrote: > I think this is a real Problem, not everyone have big enough Monitors.
