Description Lukas Hasik 2002-03-08 11:26:48 UTC

build 200203080100, jdk1.4-b92, MDI

-start IDE with clean userdir
-do quick x-click on Open File... button on Welcome Screen or in toolbar

-> Open File dialog opens more than once

Couldn't this action open only one dialog ?

Comment 2 _ lkramolis 2002-03-08 13:57:29 UTC

Why do you click on it more than once? I do not want to fix it, sorry.

Comment 3 Lukas Hasik 2002-03-11 18:21:35 UTC

Why I clicked two times ? It was by mistake and because of slow
response of IDE.
Can you image how I was frightened by all these Open File wizards ? ;)
Which is the right one ? Can I close the rest of them etc... these was
question that I had in my mind. So we don't want to scare our users,
do we ?

BTW: it's strange behaviour that modal dialog can be invoked more
times, synchronize it somehow ;))

Is there any valuable reason why this isue should be marked WONTFIX ?

Comment 4 _ lkramolis 2002-05-09 13:06:50 UTC

It is same behavior as any other icon button which open modal dialog.

A: Modal dialog is opened from method which can be called multiple
times so I am not able to avoid multiple opening.

Comment 5 pfelenda 2003-04-17 17:24:50 UTC

This issue still happends in dev 200304160100.
I reproduce it only by first opening Open dialog, because
dialog was opened longer than 1 sec.

Open dialog is modal and should be present only once.
I know that this is not stadard use of IDE, but this issue can
bring improper behavior (errror) in newer version.

I don't know any application which has the same behavior of 
toolbar buttons. Which opens modal dialogs more than once.
This dosn't reflect good quality of NB IDE.

Comment 6 Marian Petras 2003-08-06 16:18:16 UTC

Note 1:
Opening multiple modal dialogs is possible due to NetBeans' threading
policy - actions (like OpenFileAction) are not executed in the AWT
event dispatching thread.

Note 2:
This problem applies also to the Find action and maybe several more
actions. I am going to fix the problem for all actions in the
Utilities module.

Comment 7 Marian Petras 2003-08-07 13:53:37 UTC

Fixed in the trunk.

Comment 8 Lukas Hasik 2004-02-26 13:51:45 UTC

ok, verified
