This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Just after executing a statement, or after moving to the next/previous page, the Delete Record(s) button is enabled, but pressing it doesn't seem to do anything.
Please see the status bar message. Initially we had a popup but someone was complaining about it. We can set the first row selected when you refresh the page.
Please just disable the button. Then you won't need to care about the status bar or popup message.
I don't see what is the problem in the current approch, anyway this does not look like very important to me, will make it as future.
Well, if you don't see a problem with the current approach, it is quite unlikely that you will ever fix it. The problem is that an enabled action (button, menu item, etc.) that doesn't do anything is considered bad UI. It makes NetBeans looks unpolished. An user that is attentive to details will think "so why isn't the action disabled, if it doesn't do anything?". Consider -- a lot of actions in the NetBeans main menu are disabled when they don't make sense. Even in dataview, the page navigation buttons are displayed when there is only one page. So why do you insist on a different behavior for this button? Is fixing this a big problem, or does it require significat implementation effort?
Correct it require good amount of effort. if you can figure out how to fix this, send me a patch. I will be happy to apply it. For now I will defer this.
I think you are correct I will never fix this. The solution that we have is good enough and this causes no side effect or damage. So closing it.
Ahi, I don't agree. This issue doesn't damage anything except impression of NetBeans. You and your team have fixed similar issue for SQL script for UPDATE. Here is the same situation. I understand that here can be not enough resources, but this is not the reason for closing this issue, since it is still here. So please, don't close this issue until it will be fixed. If there is not enough resources, then this is the reason for discussion when it will be fixed and by who. Let's discuss it on next meeting.
OK! I will see if I can find a way to fix this.
