Description vanjab 2005-04-28 16:03:54 UTC 
Reproduce:
    select a jlabel within a form editor.
    press space to start editing the content
    try to delete some of the characters you have typed.
    It will erase the character, but the event is passed up, so the form editor will try to erase the JLabel 
itself!

This must be a new bug because I have always been using this feature with previous releases of NB

Thanks.

I was not able to reproduce the problem on JDK1.4.2 and JDK5.0 on Windows.
So, it seems to be platform specific.
Comment 2 vanjab 2005-04-29 16:16:35 UTC 
I noticed afterwards that the backspace (Delete) falls through other(all?) objects including property 
editor. Definitively something new...

Well, I just tried NB4.2, and the backspace issue is still present.
Let me repeat that the backspace character is being passed through to parent in every case.
It is a serious issue, as pressing backspace is a common operation.
To illustrate with another example:
if try to use backspace while editing a text property of a JLabel in a property editor window, the event 
falls through and parents get the event resulting in a system beep.

It would be great if somebody would at least acknowledge the issue.

Running NB4.1 on
Apple Dual G5
Tiger 10.4.1

Thanks.

I was able to reproduce the issue with NetBeans 4.1 on Mac.
On the other hand it worked correctly in the latest development
builds (with both JDK 1.4 and 5.0) on Tiger 10.4.2.
So, marking as fixed.
