[3.2] View | Output Window always selects (maybe even opens) the "Output" tab in the Output Window. I would expect and want it to be consistent with e.g. View | Source Editor, i.e. just give focus to the currently topmost tab in the Output Window, or if the Output Window is not showing, open the Output tab and give focus to it.
[Nov 13 dev] View | Output window displays w/o Output tab. It was fixed with another issue.
It is not fixed as of [dev nov 13]. I had the OW open but not selected, with Ant Execution tab showing, and pressed Ctrl-4. It created the tab Output, briefly focused it, then put focus back on Ant Execution. Sloppy but OK. After that however, pressing Ctrl-4 would always front the Output tab, even when Ant Execution had been fronted before pressing it.
Yes Jesse, you're right. Currently is View/Output inconsistent with View/Editor, but consistent with other items in view menu, which always select / open their components. Output mode has similar characteristics like Editor (docked components typically shows various contents), so their actions in view menu should be consistent as Jeese wrote. Ales, can you take care of it? After all, it's output window. Take inspiration from EditorViewAction to see how it's done. I'll be glad to review your commit. Thanks.
Fixed in main trunk. You can look at diff here: http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/core/src/org/netbeans/core/actio ns/OutputWindowAction.java.diff?r1=1.14&r2=1.15
