There is this useless window animation when switching between NetBeans and other applications. This animation is not the only problem. Also, the application is not placed in the correct spot in the window list, and there is a severe modal dialog problem. So for example if press [Alt+Tab] to switch from NetBeans to this browser page then I get the animation and NetBEans is pushed to the top (I think) of the window list. If I press [Alt+Tab] again to get back to the browser page, then another application comes to the front not the browser as expected. So I press [Alt+Tab] to switch from the browser page to get the NetBeans version number: Menu|Help|About. As a response to the Menu|Help|About, the minimize animation starts and NetBeans disappears. I have to press [Alt+Tab] again to get to NetBeans, but again, this is not enough, as I have to search for it in the window list. When I finally have recovered NetBeans with the Menu|Help|About dialog open, then this dialog is modal with respect to all other windows, meaning I cannot switch to any other application unless I close that dialog. So working with dialogs, say to cut and paste paths in libraries from the windows explorer location bar, is actually impossible now. I will uninstall this version and I have to suspend all my testing until this is resolved in a daily build. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.0 Beta 2 (Build 201102140001) Java: 1.6.0_22; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 17.1-b03 System: Windows 2000 version 5.0 running on x86; Cp1252; en_NZ (nb) Userdir: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.netbeans\7.0beta2
Happens in full screen mode.
i tried alt-tab switching with the latest dev build, jdk 1.6.0_24 on windows xp and there were no problems. so it's either windows 2000 specific or some other issue with your windows setup. but i don't have any windows 2000 installation to reproduce it. definitely not a P2 bug
This happens on a new installation on a different computer under Windows XP, using the latest available build netbeans-trunk-nightly-201102210501-ml-javaee-windows.exe This bug is new, and I would not want this extreme behavior (denying access to all other Windows applications) to be included in a new NetBeans release. When trying to reproduce this, you may have missed the condition that this happens when NetBeans is in full screen mode. Menu|View|Full Screen.
