This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Start IDE in the MDI mode. 2. Open a .java file in the source editor. 3. Make sure the source editor window is active and the cursor is visible. 4. Click on the Maximize button in the title bar. 5. The cursor disappears from the editor pane. Pressing any keys has no (?) effect. 6. Click in the pane, make sure the cursor is visible, click the Restore button -> same problem. Note that Minimize&Restore works fine.
Reassignign to Marek Slama. The problem probably is, that after maximalization (or restore), only whole frame gets focus, not component itself. Marek, find out who stole the focus (JComponent.grabFocus, SwingUtilities.findfocusowner...) and eitjer remove focus stealing or restore component's focus on proper place (after max/restore action).
Fixed in main trunk Change in org.netbeans.core.windows.frames.DesktopPane in method moveToFront and MinMaxListener.selectFrame commented call of requestFocus on frame (InternalFrameTypeImpl). It caused focus loss of inner top component (editor in this case).
Status changed according to guidelines

verified in [nb_dev](20020429)
