This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Create orchestration project and open bpel multy-view editor. The default view is Design view. 2. Click "Alt+Shift+Left", editor is switched from Design view to Source view. 3. Click "Alt+Shift+Right" or "Alt+Shift+Left". bpel editor won't be switched back to Design view. Note: On Win XP platform, this feature works fine. On a Mac Power PC (OX 10.4.3), even step 2 won't work.
Is this still a problem? Can someone retest?
tried to retest this bug on a Mac machine today. But the installer for Mac OS is not good. Sent email to enterprise pack installer team. Will retest it after we get a valid build.
tested in NB 5.5 Beta2 build (200607190830, Ent.Pack 2006.07.19), the issue is still reproducible.
bpel editor bug, changing the sub component.
I wonder if this is generic Multiview editor bug. We should see if this same bug exists for Schema editor for instance. Can QE test Schema editor on MAC for same scenario?
You are right. Looks like this is a generic Multiview editor bug. It exists for Schema editor and wsdl editor as well.
I've just checked on Mac in Matisse and yes it seems to be a bug common to all the multiview editors.
Move this bug to Editor component. This bug is also A11Y related. So "A11Y" keyword is added.
Honza, pls reassign to correct person on NB editor team - this is important for a11y support in EntPack.
Milos, is this a known issue?
the problem seems to be that on macosx, the editor has bound actions to the Alt-Shift-left/right shortcut, while it doesn't on other platforms. the Alt key should be probably replaced by Meta(Apple sign) on macosx.
Needed by Ent Pack.
not a P1! there is no dataloss and there is a workaround (use the menu to switch)
FYI - Milos evaluated possibility to fix this in 5.5. It seems that a change to Meta on Mac would be trivial fix. If it proves to be the case and it works correctly, Milos will integrate the change to 5.5 till the end of the week. If some problems appear, we will not fix it in 5.5 (accessible workaround exists).
I tried to workaround the bug by using Meta+Shift+Right and Meta+Shift+Left but this does not work.
> I tried to workaround the bug by using Meta+Shift+Right and Meta+Shift+Left > but this does not work. This is a misunderstanding. A workaround is to use menu items under View/Editors. Meta+Shift+.. will hopefully work after Milos integrates the change he started working on.
Created attachment 34688 [details] simple patch to fix the macosx problem
fixed in trunk. the fix is easy (attached), so I suggest we merge it into 5.5 branch as well.
merged to release55 branch.
build 20070530 "Alt+Shift+Left" does not work on Macx
build 20070530 "Alt+Shift+Left/Right" does not work on Macx
victoriaz: the binding on mac is Ctrl-Shift-left, not Alt. And it works for me in the current trunk. In the Netbeans55 keymapping profile at least. No idea what the new shortcut is.
In build NetBeans IDE 6.0 Beta 2 (Build 200710212201) on Mac OS X there is working shortcut Ctrl+Meta+PgUp/PgDn for multiview switching so that I can mark this issue as Verified.
