hotkeys (most noticeably ctrl-s for save) stops working in the 3.4 RC1 build after I open the Form editor. When it closes and I try to press ctrl-s in the source window to save the changed form, it doesn't work. I have to go up on the File menu and save from there. This is reproduceable every time I do it and therefore it renders a lot useless. It seems all hotkeys (I tried ctrl- o and a few others) stops working (I assume the hidden form editor is really in control of them somehow). My configuration should be fairly standard (I use separate windows not MDI) and I did import my settings from 3.3.2 (which also causes some errors during startup about xml). I feel this is a pretty high priority if it happens for most configurations.
Could you provide us exact steps to reproduce? Is it still reproducible? Only opening form file cause this behaviour? What after switching workspaces? Which JDK version/number do you use? NetBeans build number ? It's unreproducible on Solaris5.8 & [jdk1.4.1](rc), neither Win2K & [jdk1.4.0](01).
My current environment is: P4 1500, 512MB, Windows XP JDK 1.4.1 RC1 NetBeans IDE 3.4 RC1 -- This happens both for me and a coworker (his setup is the same just a smaller machine and he uses 1.4.0). On his machine we simply created a new JFrame, added a button to it in the form editor, closed it, and tried to save it in the source window with ctrl-s or F11. None worked. In his environment though, hotkeys started to work again after he switched workspace from GUI editing to Editing, which doesn't happen in my environment. It is reproduceable every time. I think both of us imported settings from earlier Netbeans versions. I can attach my configuration if that is helpful, just tell me which directories are needed. If there is any workspace workaround I'd be really appriciated if anyone knew of one restarting Netbeans every time I open the form editor gets annoying. Also I tested this at home on Netbeans 3.4 JDK1.4beta3 it does -not- happen. The main difference between home and work is that I didn't import settings from an earlier version on that one.
Well, I have spend time on evaluating this issue, I tried : - import settings from NB3.2, 3.3 , 3.3.2 - create new JFrame - add JButton - close Form Editor window by x button on the title bar - click to Source Editor window - press Ctrl+S -> it allways works I have tested on Win2K/jdk1.4.1.{rc1}, MDI. So we need more info, please attach your original userdir(userdir from that you import settings), if nothing confidential there are. Which NB did you used (from that you import settings)? MDI or SDI? Are you sure Source Editor Window has focus when you press Ctrl+S? If you invoke popup menu on Source Editor window(at the time when Ctrl+S didn't save it), has actions (Save, Compile, Build) enabled? If yes please push Compile and in Status Bar is written message about compiling file, was right file compiled? I don't know where is problem, but we have still trouble with focus, maybe another node in Explorer is selected and you invoke action (Save) for them, this should be reason for not saving file selected in Source Editor. Please provide us more info as soon as possible, because this is high priority issue that must be fixed to RC2 (08/08-09). Thanks in advance.
Yes, I agree with Marian - as we can't reproduce, we need more info to be able to do anything with this bug. Please, try to find out following: 1) Does import step really matters? Please try to run clean 3.4 RC1 (use runide -userdir "some_new_empty_dir"), don't do import. Does the bug still occurs? 2) As Marian suggested, try to escape somehow from bad behaviour - try to click on various nodes in explorer, in various windows and watch if shortcuts started to work. If 1) seemed to bring system to correct state, we would need content of your userdir to examine. Thanks.
We still cannot reproduce it and we haven't more informations yet. Without reproducible scenario we cannot do nothing. Please add more info. I decrease priority to P2 (unreproducible) and we are waiting for your input. Pottentional root of these problems should be in your previous using JDK1.4, than 1.3 and than again 1.4 (please have a look at http://editor.netbeans.org/faq.html Question:All SHIFT/CTRL/ALT shortcuts do not work.) Thanks for your time. Dafe: please mark this one as 3.4_WAIVER and ask for waiver on reviewers@netbeans.org, thanks advance.
Yes, I'm marking as 3.4_WAIVER (not to be fixed in 3.4 release) because bug report is incomplete and we weren't able to reproduce this bug with given incomplete info. As we don't have a clue where the problem may lie, we are unable to fix.
No additional info more than one month. As I and Dafe wrote a long time ago, without new info we cannot do nothing. It is still unreproducible, so I am closing as WORKSFORME. If you add asked information, please reopen. Thanks.
Without new informations for long time - verifying.
