Description Jesse Glick 2001-05-23 16:29:25 UTC

[3.2] View | Output Window always selects (maybe even opens) the
"Output" tab in the Output Window. I would expect and want it to be
consistent with e.g. View | Source Editor, i.e. just give focus to the
currently topmost tab in the Output Window, or if the Output Window is
not showing, open the Output tab and give focus to it.

[Nov 13 dev] View | Output window displays w/o Output tab. It was
fixed with another issue.

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2001-11-13 11:01:56 UTC

It is not fixed as of [dev nov 13]. I had the OW open but not
selected, with Ant Execution tab showing, and pressed Ctrl-4. It
created the tab Output, briefly focused it, then put focus back on Ant
Execution. Sloppy but OK. After that however, pressing Ctrl-4 would
always front the Output tab, even when Ant Execution had been fronted
before pressing it.

Yes Jesse, you're right. Currently is View/Output inconsistent with
View/Editor, but consistent with other items in view menu, which
always select / open their components.
Output mode has similar characteristics like Editor (docked components
typically shows various contents), so their actions in view menu
should be consistent as Jeese wrote.

Ales, can you take care of it? After all, it's output window. Take
inspiration from EditorViewAction to see how it's done. I'll be glad
to review your commit. Thanks.
