Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200807181543) Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11 System: SunOS version 5.10 running on sparc; ISO646-US; en (nb) Observed: When switching between app and NB with some dialog open(for example new project dialog) focus is given to app from which it was switched to NB after the dialog is closed in some way - it doesn't matter whether it was switched directly to the dialog window or to the NB main window. Expected: If the user switches to NB main window the focus should be returned to it after closing of the dialog. Steps to reproduce: In NB some dialog (ie. new project dialog) -> alt-tab to some other tab -> alt tab back to NB (to main window - not to dialog - so that focus should be given to NB main window and it then should delegate it to the dialog) -> close the dialog in some way(cancel) -> focus is given back to the app not to NB!!
works fine for me on winxp, jdk1.5/1.6. maybe native window manager issue? cyhelsky, can you reproduce this behavior with swingset demo?
Not reproducible on my Ubuntu Linux. It's definitely window manager issue - cyhelsky perhaps you have "focus follows mouse" enabled? Anyway, cyhelsky please attach requested information, thank you.
This problem seems to be present only on Solaris - i have tested it on vista, ubuntu and solaris I dont thing it has anything to do with the mouse, because it is the same if u use only alt-tab. I'll investigate it further on monday.
Without requested information for long time - INVALID. We can't do anything in this case, so please reporter add requested information and reopen issue. Thanks in advance.
