Description rpatel 2007-09-06 17:19:23 UTC 
Hi,

This was an issue with 5.5 and is also an issue with 6.0 on Windows XP.

When I switch from NetBeans IDE window to another window using Alt+Tab, and then switch back to NetBeans IDE window
using Alt+Tab mechanism, it somehow interprets it as Alt+F and selects the File menu. This is very annoying in terms of
experience on the Windows system.

Regards,
Rima.

Hello,

Unfortunately this is known Swing bug, not related to Netbeans directly.
See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6458497 for more details.
