Description Roman Mostyka 2008-06-18 17:57:39 UTC
1. Open SQL editor.
2. Execute statement.
3. Execute another statement.
4. Open SQL History dialog.
5. Click "Insert" button.

Result: Statement is added. Everything is fine, but if customer clicks statement by mistake, it will be needed to close
"SQL History" dialog and remove unnecessary string. It will be better if it is possible to do without closing.

I think the current design is fine.  On the other hand, if the Customer wants to insert statements multiple times then
each time the dialog has to be opened.

I don't think this should be changed.

won't fix
Comment 3 Roman Mostyka 2008-06-19 11:55:40 UTC
If dialog is not modal, then customer can just switch between windows. It is much more convenient.
Why "if the Customer wants to insert statements multiple times then each time the dialog has to be opened."? After
pressing "Insert" button dialog isn't closed, so customer still can insert what needed, but if it is needed to remove
something, dialog has to be closed and then reopened.

I'm not sure what the policy is here.  A non-modal dialog is dangerous to me, because it can get hidden.

What it implies is something I was concerned about -- that someone might want to keep SQL History available as they
work, which is why I had argued for putting history in the navigator window.

If this confusion and frustration keeps coming up with our users, we should revisit placing this in a panel in NetBeans'
main window rather than as a dialog.

But for now let's keep this as "WONT FIX".  I am not comfortable with a non-modal dialog.  If you want we can discuss
further at i-team.
