070328. After running a search, it seems to be impossible to then navigate results using the keyboard. Once, focus would immediately be in the results pane, so you could quickly navigate. Later, probably when the button bar on the left was added, you needed to use Tab to get focus into the results pane, which was annoying but acceptable. Now it seems you cannot get focus there at all. Pressing Tab repeatedly does not give focus to any component; it is just lost somewhere. Pressing e.g. Ctrl-1 Ctrl-Shift-0 to focus some other TC and then Search Results pane again does not help.
Sorry, forgot to mention: Linux/Gnome, JDK 7, Ocean L&F.
Fixed in the trunk. Modified file: utilities/src/org/netbeans/modules/search/ResultView.java (1.41) Diff: http://utilities.netbeans.org/source/browse/utilities/src/org/netbeans/modules/search/ResultView.java?r1=1.40&r2=1.41&diff_format=u
BTW you may find FishEye to be a lot nicer to use: http://deadlock.netbeans.org/fisheye/browse/netbeans/utilities/src/org/netbeans/modules/search/ResultView.java?r1=1.40&r2=1.41 You can get the module "netbeans.org Source Browser" from dev AU or apisupport/nborg-source-browse which makes it especially easy to jump to such URLs, or just bookmark e.g. http://deadlock.netbeans.org/fisheye/browse/~author=mpetras/netbeans although it seems for some reason this particular commit did not show up as a changeset (maybe it will soon).
Thanks for the hint. The diff does not show up in FishEye until continuous build grabs the updated file (maybe, more precisely, until it grabs the file and makes it available in the list of changes).
Well, FishEye and Hudson are independent; both rely on CVSup. But FishEye may need to wait for an indexing run of some kind before changesets appear.
