Description dmocek 2006-01-03 23:53:08 UTC

[ BUILD # : 200601012030 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.4.2_xx ]

Open multiple files.  Open the Documents window.  Highlight a file in the middle of the list.  Click on the 'Close Document(s)' button.  The document will close and the first file in the Documents window will be highlighted.

This is a usability pain.  The previous or next file  in the list (from the one closed) should be selected.  I have quite a few files open and I'm going through the list in the Documents window to close several of them.  I have to close a file, then scroll down to find my previous position, then start looking again where I left off.  Yes, I can select multiple files and close them all, but this poses other problems (not the least of which is poor keyboard support for this).

Reassigning to core/winsys

This is more a usability bug than enhancement, changing.
