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.
You get a Welcome window when first install NetBeans. But in Welcome tab, can't get to any of the windows within, can't get to the checkbox "SHOW ON STARTUP" either.
It seems that welcome screen does not get focus after it was activated. (After mouse click on already activated welcome screen all is's components became accessible by Tab presses). I change component/subcomponent to ui/welcome.
This is also reproducible with Enterprise Pack Welcome Screen. According to Accesibility Bug Priority Guidelines this is P1 issue: A component is completely unreachable by keyboard.
See also CR 6471300 (originally filed issue for NB Ent Pack Welcome Screen A11Y issue). mmirilovic, please, comment on priority lowering.

patch reviewed, OK. Just minor - focusAnyContentPanel returns boolean which is not used anywhere?
