I'm using the editor to edit a .java file. I use another application and then return to NetBeans where now the menus have the focus, not the editor. You have to click inside the editor to get the focus back on it to continue typing. This never use to happen in NetBeans 3.5.
Try to run NB using a switch -J-Dnetbeans.debug.editor.caret.focus=true Debug messages should appear in console. If focus gained and focus lost events are not fired properly this will not be editor problem and issue could be duplicate of issue #43616
I am sorry, I didn't notice your sentence "Menus have the focus" => openide problem Reassigning...
I believe it's another reincarnation of issue #41681 and relative.. Dfe, can you try on Windows, it works for me now in linux.
It works for me too here on Win. This also may be duplicate of 46826 if James is using alt+tab to switch between the apps. Anyway, either this works now or is duplicate of 46826, so I'm closing as works for me. James please correct me if I'm wrong.
I've been trying to find an exact reason when/why this happens. It seems to happen when I use ALT+TAB to another application and then use CTRL+C to copy stuff to the clipboard. When I ALT+TAB back to NB's the cursor is in the menu and not in the editor.
