Description pacf1 2008-04-21 11:57:37 UTC 
I wasn't able to switch between more then 2 open files (the same problem I had in Opera browser). When I had opened 
more then two files, I could change a current file only with once other by using CTRL+Tab.
And I don't know how to find out which files I have opened, but it could be only my ignorance.

I can reproduce this. The list of opened editor tabs is not listed when pushing ctrl+tab. Instead this is switching among last 2 opened tabs. This works in a 
wrong way only when running together with JAWS. 
The workaround is to use Ctrl+PgU/Ctrl+PgDown shortcuts.

juhrik, what is JAWS - is that screen reader application?

If Ctrl+Tab is held for longer time, does popup window with list of editor documents appear or not?

Jaro, wake up :)

juhrik, please post here a set of reproducible steps how to reproduce error (and how to install JAWS), thank you.

Dafe, you are absolutely right that the JAWS is a screen reader application. You can find more about JAWS for Windows at
http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_products/software_jaws.asp
Steps to reproduce are:
-install JAWS
-run JAWS
-run NetBeans
-open at least 3 files in NetBeans
-push Ctrl+Tab
--> It switches between last 2 opened files (instead of document switcher popup)
If Ctrl+Tab is held for longer time, popup window with list of editor documents does not appear.
