Description nimarukan 2007-09-18 22:47:56 UTC 
Regression in NB6b1 since NB6m10:

Can no longer type a space character into a property in the field

Tools/
  Options/
    Miscellaneous (icon)/
      Ant (tab)/
        Properties (textarea)

Typing a space character causes the text field to scroll instead.
VERY ANNOYING.

Space characters are required in some properties.

e.g., file names with spaces in name
e.g., to set multiple debugging jvm -D options on same line

[also, textarea height is too short, only two lines, was much better before]

Actually applies to any text field in the Options dialog. Culprit seems to be OptionsPanel.initActions, which uses
WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW. Not clear to me what these key bindings (UP, SPACE, DOWN) are for, so can't really say how this
should be fixed (other than to delete these bindings entirely).

key bindings == heritage for switching panels for individual categories
