reassigning. This issue is more about the Javahelp functionality or some windowing issue and not about documentation. I can reproduce the bug on Mac OS X only, sometimes it works, sometimes not, I haven't found exact conditions for reproducing this bug yet. (I didn't reproduce the bug exactly by the provided steps, I didn't need to resize the split view.) It seems the the whole dialog is in some incorrect state, even if I click into the content pane, text cursor is not shown. The focus is probably set correctly, but caret handling is broken. I haven't seen anything suspicious while debugging the code. If I switch to another application and back, everything starts working normally. The bug originates probably in JavaHelp or JDK, not in NetBeans itself. As the bug isn't very frequent, and workaround is easy (reopen the help dialog), I'm setting priority to P4. Can you reproduce the bug with some other help topic? With provided steps to reproduce, do you encounter the bug always, or sometimes? What is your screen resolution? Thank you very much for reporting.

Jaroslav, My screen resolution is 1280x800. I'm able to reproduce the issue with the provided steps everytime once after starting the IDE. For now, this is the only way am ending up with this issue. As you said, there is a workaround, but I personally believe this is something more than a P4, considering the fact that it will leave the help system search totally unusable when it occurs. |
