Description Petr Dvorak 2008-03-03 11:22:11 UTC
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803021202)
Java: 1.6.0_04; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b19
System: Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)

There are two (more-or-less connected) issues concerning a removal of an item from the screen in the Screen designer:

1. It is not possible to remove an item (resource, command, form item, ...) using a "Delete" key in the Screen designer.
You have to right-click the item you want to remove and choose "Delete" from the pop-up menu afterwards.

2. It is not possible to remove more resources, commands, etc. in the Screen designer. You can select more items using a
Ctrl key, but it is not possible to use a "Delete" key to remove all the selected items and when you right-click some
item (while more items are selected), the pop-up menu is related only to the single item...

No test specification says it should be already possible to delete an item using a "Delete" key or delete multiple items
at once, thus this could be just a new feature proposal. However, I thing that the lack of the "feature" is quite major
(it is very annoying to remove 10 items using 10 right-clicks). That's why I posted this issue as a defect (in other
words, I think it can be changed to a "feature" if the fix is difficult).

It's definitively feature, switching to FEATURE
