Description _ gtzabari 2008-12-14 23:11:27 UTC 
dev build 200812141401

Any time the Glassfish3 output window outputs anything it steals the keyboard focus. This is highly annoying for us
keyboard-centric individuals ;) This bug does not occur in the Glassfish2 output window.

Reassigning to "j2eeserver" for further evaluation.
Comment 2 Jayashri Visvanathan 2008-12-17 01:31:53 UTC 
Vince, Can you please evaluate the issue ?
thanks
Comment 3 Vince Kraemer 2008-12-18 21:30:16 UTC 
I can replicate this behavior...  I experimented with a couple work-around strategies, but was not successful.

this should be fixed in the 7.0 time frame.
Comment 4 _ gtzabari 2008-12-18 21:53:32 UTC 
Out of curiosity, why does the behavior differ from Glassfish v2?
Comment 5 Vince Kraemer 2008-12-19 00:28:13 UTC 
because the code is not the same... I haven't investigated the specifics of the differences, though.
Comment 6 bmilcke 2009-01-23 09:37:57 UTC 
Just added a vote.

As a work-around: it seems to help to pin the output-window. Then the keyboard-focus is not taken. This is only due to
the popping up window. However, you cannot pin only the glassfish in a small window somewhere, you have all the other
output windows there, too. And a pinned window takes away precious space. At least you can continue typing.

I've added a vote for this - it's incredibly irritating and makes debugging an enterprise app frustrating as focus is
continually stolen from the debug output window, or any other output window for that matter. Does "this should be fixed
in the 7.0 time frame" refer to the Netbeans formerly known as 7 now known as 6.7, in which case it's not fixed, or a
further down the line actual Netbeans 7? Otherwise, has anybody come up with a workaround?
Comment 9 Vince Kraemer 2009-07-22 15:28:27 UTC 
PCW: this issue may be fixed by the changes you are working on...
Comment 10 _ pcw 2009-07-22 16:04:01 UTC 
Hi Vince, the patch (changeset 60793dd9a42b) you are referring to was pushed to web-main last week - I'd hope it's
available in nightly builds by now (but based on your recent comment re: main-golden, maybe not).

I think it's worth investigating comment regarding stealing keyboard focus though.  The original code should not take
keyboard focus at all and is derived directly from the V2 code.  I would have expected the two servers to behave the
same way.  Maybe there is something about having "popup" output windows that always steals focus regardless.  That would
be bad.

assign outher half of pcw's issues
Comment 12 _ pcw 2009-09-18 04:33:36 UTC 
Hi Vince, this issue is likely fixed by that patch I made in Prague.  Why not close it and have Davis verify it.
Comment 13 Vince Kraemer 2009-09-21 19:54:27 UTC 
thanks.  will do.
