Reassigning to new module owner Tomas Holy. Ctrl-PageUp/Down work for me to navigate between OW tabs. Personally I never agreed with the decision to make these tabs within a single window but perhaps the UI designers responsible for this decision can defend it. Issue #84842 is already filed for the Debugger Console; any problems with versioning tabs should be filed separately in an appropriate component. Please do not mix together separate issues. I am having a real difficulty when debugging web applications. Out of the five Output Window "tabs" that pop up every time I start a debugging session, I only ever want to see one. I filed separate issues for making these tabs hide by default but I think a much more elegant solution would be to make these things full-fledged tabs as I mentioned before and then allow users to collapse them to the side of the output window like you can do with existing full-fledged tabs. Or simply do what Jesse mentioned, drop the entire concept of mini-tabs within a window (for now) and just use normal tabs. Then in the future we can file a RFE against OpenIDE asking them to add a new mechanism which allows us to group a collection of tabs into a single entity and allow the user to either move individual tabs independent of one another or all at the same time. d66ef1640f63 sorry, wrong issue 1) dupl of issue #146627 2) debugger console can be disabled (issue #160875), VCS is partially fixed (issue #160876) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 146627 *** |
