Description Max Sauer 2006-04-20 15:13:38 UTC 
Inside today's trunk, the Welcome screen becomes the selected editor tab after
IDE restart. Thus, the IDE does not remember the lastly opened source, which is
very annoying.

Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
1) Start IDE with fresh userdir
2) Open a j2se project and a java file from it
3) Close IDE
4) Start it again, using the userdir from step 1

O don't know if it's connected with this issue, but there is an error inside
rss20.xml on planetnetbeans. This may be the couse of the errorous behaviour.
See attached message (informational exception stack trace).

As designed ...
Comment 4 Stanislav Aubrecht 2006-04-21 12:28:51 UTC 
this is designed behavior (at the moment). there's an option to turn welcome
page off.

what does hie think about this?

I agree this can be annoying. Let's wait for more user feedback.

Just brainstorming: What if we insert the welcome screen right next to the lastly open editor tab? This way 
if the user closes the welcome the right tab will be selected. But what if the welcome was open (not 
selected) when the user closed the IDE? Hmm, I don't know. Or I can imagine that we could try to select 
the lastly selected editor tab *after* the user closes the welcome screen. This might introduce other 
problems, though.
Comment 6 Stanislav Aubrecht 2006-09-12 12:10:02 UTC 
the welcome screen already has a new behavior in trunk and release55 builds. it
doesn't open as the active tab in editor but it can be switched to by a single
CTRL+TAB key press
