Description ssffleming 2002-05-06 22:59:53 UTC 
This is a placeholder for what may be a bug.  I am opening this early,
given the timing in our release cycle.  We are not sure how to access
the "System Menu" in the upper left corner of frames in SDI mode.
On win* we can press/release alt and then type the down arrow key.
On Solaris 9 with JDK 1.4 this does not seem to work.  The system Menu
has typically choices like move/resize etc.  In our test case we select
an item in the explorer window tree and then attempt to move/resize
the explorer window.  I looked at the list of known JDK bugs on netbeans.org, 
but this has not been maintained...was not on this list.
Comment 1 _ ttran 2002-05-07 07:09:22 UTC 
Accessing the system menu of the native (SDI) frame is under control
of the window manager, java can do nothing about it.  If it does not
work or is not accessible, blame the window manager, not Java nor the IDE.

BTW why do you think this is a P1 bug?  No crash, no data loss here.
Comment 2 ssffleming 2002-05-07 16:51:59 UTC 
Accessibility is P1.  Please review with me for agreement before marking this invalid.
Comment 3 _ ttran 2002-05-07 17:02:52 UTC 
I maintain that this bug is INVALID because the accessibility problem
you described is not in the IDE but in the underlying platform.  File
bugs against Solaris 9 if you want.

If you disagree, add your arguments here.

Alt+Spacebar is the magic word on Solaris.

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