Description _ rkusterer 2005-10-19 11:02:41 UTC 
In the new NB 5 beta cvs, sometimes I cannot edit the commit message at all.
(Committing itself works perfectly, just the commit message is the problem.)

With "cannot edit" I mean: 
The commit dialog comes up with the previous message (that's OK), and the string
is selected (OK), but when I type the new message or hit backspace, the old
message remains highlighted and nothing changes.

With "sometimes" I mean:
- When I choose CVS>Commit from the IDE's main menu, editing the commit message
is possible _every time_.
- But when I choose Commit from a right-click contextual menu (within the Editor
by clicking the files tab, or within Files/Favorites/Projects/Versioning View
etc), the message is editable in circa two-thirds of the cases. In circa one
third of the cases, the commit message remains uneditable, even if I cancel and
try committing the same file again. In those cases, I need to choose Commit from
the main menu if I ever want to edit the message before commiting.

I'm sorry I don't know how to reproduce it on purpose, I don't see any pattern.
What could be the difference between calling the same command from the Main Menu
and from the context menu? It's far from being a showstopper, just annoying if I
can't rely on the handy context-menu.

Looks like pure Swing issue. There is no setEnabled(), etc. Main menu and popup
menu actions are identical.

JDK version?

Just happened to me. Looks like broken internal Swing keyboard focus logic
(changing focus with mouse works).
