Description

I can't tell if this is only related to PHP/Web project or to other kind of project asl well, because I only use Netbeans for web development.

Every time you have to check differences from local and remote file on a web server (via FTP/FTPS/SFTP), the diff window is ridiculously small and has to be resized every time. As soon as the window is closed, the diff of the next file starts, again, with a useless small window.

At least in the same synchro session the size should be kept.
Even better Netbeans should remember the last size forever, based on project or, even better, globally since it depends more on the size of the screen than on language or other variables.

And by the way the initial default should be changed with higher values (fixed or even better based on the monitor or main window size).

The way it is now, it's really, really, nerve wracking with usability closed to zero.

PS: by the way... the button "Take over local changes" is too ambiguous. I think of "take over" as "take the place of", but actually is the opposite as in "Send it out". Should be something like "Overwrite remote"/ "Overwrite local".
