Description Ayub Khan 2007-06-12 06:40:36 UTC 
If I add some palette items (to java mimetype) using NB6.0 mechanism for
palettes, then hide these items using palette filter. A blank palette still
shows up. This will be annoying to users who use form editors frequently. See
attachment.
Comment 1 Stanislav Aubrecht 2007-06-12 09:37:02 UTC 
this is as designed. the main purpose of the palette filter is to show/hide some
palette items depending on the current context of the document the palette is
associated with.
not showing the palette window when there's no palette content would be
confusing for users - imagine clicking 'show palette' action in the main menu
and nothing happens because there's no palette content...
