Description Peter Zavadsky 2008-04-07 19:19:36 UTC

Embedded Browser component implementation is heavyweight by default. There causes some problems when embedded into Swing
application (like the IDE). 
For now the most know issues are:
1) Lightweight popup, which get obscured by the embedded browser component,
2) Sliding windows, which are lightweight, also are obscured by the embedded browser component.

Noticed today playing with NB 6.8 RC1 that the embedded browser tab works fine when switching between Editor tabs, but it does not if you opened the Output tab on top of it.
Do this:
1. click on the embedded browser tab in the Editor
2. double-click on the Output window so that it is maximized (over all editor tabs)
3. you will notice how the embedded browser portion overlays on top of the output window.

The obvious workaround for that is:
1. click on the embedded browser tab in the Editor
1.1. click on another tab, like a java file in the editor (now the embedded browser is hidden)
2. double-click on the Output window so that it is maximized (over all editor tabs)
3. Now the output window is showing correctly on top of everything else.
