Description drscott 2001-12-18 08:18:55 UTC 
Hi!

(the gui is in sdi-mode)

1. do a 'cvs diff graphical' on file which as differences in the code, but NOT 
in the corresponding .form file.
2. Now, the source editor appears on top, showing the diff for the code.
3. Simultaneously, a messagebox appear saying that there is no change in the 
form file. This messagebox is app-modal.
4. Sometimes this messagebox is hidden by the source editor, so it is 
impossible to access the source editor. One solution is to click on the titlebar
of the main window. this will bring the messasgebox on top...

Would it be possible to solve this issue on a window-system level? So
that modal dialogs will always be on top?
Comment 2 _ ttran 2001-12-31 19:39:56 UTC 
I think this is OS fault not NetBeans fault that the app modal dialog
is hidden behind another window.  We can hardly solve it using java
code only.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified.
