I also noticed the problems with the common property sheet. What you propose is actually a step back to what we had in NB 3.5. The changes were made as part of window system redesign and property sheet rewrite. It's up to HIE to decide about this. There are also other problems related to the global properties window, e.g. with proper node selection/activation (context actions dependent on selected node might have problems - like in issue 52188). Overall, the global property sheet is more error prone. Unless there is a good reason why the properties should be global for the whole IDE when a form is opened, I suggest to make the property sheet dedicated for the form editor only. Then the question is whether the property sheet should be placed together with the inspector in one window, or whether it should be a separate window. |
