Hi, In NetBeans 6.0 under WinXP SP2, when you open a new file in the editor, there's no telling where the tab for the newly opened file will be placed among the previous tabs. Sometimes it will become the first tab, others it will become the last, which is very confusing. NB 5.5.1 didn't show this inconsistent behavior, as newly opened files were always placed in the last tab. Cheers, Roger
Yeah, I think this behavior was changed for Nb6. The file should open next to the tab that's currently visible. The idea was that for browsing sources (eg. goto declaration or ctrl-mouse-click on an identifier) this new behavior would keep related files together (close to each other). Instead of for example opening the new file always at the end. I'm not certain about the actual behavior, so passing to openide/text where I think this was implemented for further evaluation. Thanks
Editor didn't change the behavior for normal open. Only for debugger auto-opens, the editor may choose to replace last such auto-opened tab. If the tab placement for newly opened sources changed, it was windows system change.
Stando, you fixed something similar, right?
nope, it was about closing tabs... cc'ing marek:)
marek, could it be related to your recent changes in window system? pls evaluate and pass if it isn't related, thanks
