Description asteffey 2009-01-11 03:21:30 UTC
When running a C/C++ project, the executing program does not display in the foreground.  Instead it is displayed
directly behind the currently active (foreground) window.  Though the NetBeans IDE is normally the active window when
this occurs, this behaver still occurs when another application is the foreground window.

In the Project Properties, Run Category, when Console Type is set to "External Terminal" and Terminal Type is set to
"Gnome Terminal", the Gnome Terminal (and a resulting GUI if applicable) will display this behaver.  Additionally, when
Console Type is set to "Output Window", GUI applications will display this behaver.  However, whenever "XTerm" is
selected as the Terminal Type, the resulting output behaves correctly; the XTerm window (and resulting GUI if
applicable) will both display in the foreground.

This behaver forces the extra step of always having to select the running executable to bring it to the foreground (e.g.
select the application from the Window Selector panel).

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 using the standard GNOME desktop environment.

Could you please try newer version of NetBeans: 6.5.1 or 6.7m3?

I saw this on Vladimir's macbook with HelloQtWorld sample. It was latest dev build.

Is this bug still reproducible?
