Description _ wadechandler 2007-02-22 16:12:58 UTC

We need to be able to undock a TopComponent with placement in IDE not just right
click and undock.  In other applications if an undockable component is moved to
a location on the screen where docking the component is not allowed it will be
undocked if the button is released.  This needs to behave the same way in
Netbeans.  Currently what happens is the icon which means "You can't do that"
shows up.  The circle with the line through it.  Instead of this it needs to
undock the TopComponent unless the TopComponent is marked as undockable, and
then show the "You can not do that" icon.  This could really be set as a DEFECT,
but I still went with enhancment because it at least works, but it doesn't work
like the accepted best practices in current application design which is why I
set it to P1.
