Description _ gtzabari 2011-12-29 04:18:41 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201112270601)
Java: 1.7.0_02; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 22.0-b10
System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_US (nb)

In the past we could invoke code-complete on a method and click on links in the Javadoc dialog that pops up. Now clicking anywhere in the Javadoc dialog causes it to cause. Is this by design or a regression? I hope this is a regression, because I preferred the old behavior.

reproducible
Comment 2 Dusan Balek 2012-01-02 14:58:51 UTC 
Could you please describe the particular test case? Thanks.
Comment 3 _ gtzabari 2012-01-02 18:03:57 UTC 
1. Enter the following text in the editor:

public class Test
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		System.
	}
}

2. Place caret at end of "System." and trigger code-complete
3. Navigate to getProperties() method
4. Try clicking on getProperty(String) in the Javadoc.
5. Javadoc viewer will close. Expected behavior is for the browser to show the Javadoc for the getProperty(String) method without closing.
