Focus doesn't return back to text area if you go to another window with Alt-tab. Please fix this problem... its very
uncomfartable.

Yeah, I've met that problem too!

Comment 2 intersol 2007-11-16 12:50:24 UTC

I think it should be considered BUG instead of ENHANCEMENT because it's not the expected behavior.

Also and incread priority wouldn't hurt :)

Don't forget to vote for it.

This is a fairly major issue in my opinion, as I often alt-tab away, alt-tab back, and then find that I'm typing 
shortcuts into menus that are causing random things to happen.

Comment 4 vkpedia 2008-09-29 02:41:08 UTC

Changed priority to P2 as this is a fairly major issue.

Comment 5 Lukas Hasik 2008-10-09 14:35:06 UTC

Unfortunately this is Swing bug, not directly related to Netbeans, we can't workaround it...

See older report for more details.
