Description timbray 2007-09-15 22:02:43 UTC 
The control-TAB facility gives you a little list of files to switch through.  Weirdly, they include the "Output" window
that by default is at the bottom of the screen and in view.  Only windows that are not currently in view, that you might
want to switch to, should be in there.

CND is not the right category. Trying editor....
Comment 2 Jiri Prox 2007-09-19 09:48:23 UTC 
Can you attach screenshot, please? It works for me - it provides only files which are opened in editor area

OK, attachment created. Wonder why mine is different from yours?
Comment 5 timbray 2007-09-19 17:01:21 UTC 
Oh, and I should say this is:
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200709180000) Java: 1.5.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_07-87 System:

Comment 6 Milos Kleint 2007-09-20 08:04:56 UTC 
the output window shall not be appearing in the editor area. That's probably something in window system.
Comment 7 David Simonek 2007-09-20 13:22:21 UTC 
Your screen shot shows that Output window is considered to be of editor type in your layout. You can see it from control
buttons that appear in upper right corner of the output area.

However, by default Output is of view type, not editor. I don't know how Output can change its type, perhaps when window
system data are corrupted somehow by IDE/JDK crash or modules uninstall.

timbray, please try to reproduce with clean user directory and attach exact steps that leads to error, then reopen the
issue. Unfortunately without reproducible steps I'm not able to fix.
