Description Leonid Lenyashin 2009-03-12 10:15:05 UTC 
If one closes the DLightIndicators Window, then next time it always opens in Output Window section, not in the place
where it was placed by user before.
Comment 1 Alexey Vladykin 2009-03-12 16:32:19 UTC 
I can change this behavior to one of the following.
1. DLightIndicators always opens at the same place it was last closed. If DLightIndicators is open when shutting down
IDE, empty DLightIndicators will be shown at next IDE start.
2. DLightIndicators always opens next to Navigator, regardless where it was last closed. If DLightIndicators is open
when shutting down IDE, empty DLightIndicators will be shown at next IDE start.
3. DLightIndicators always opens next to Navigator, regardless where it was last closed. DLightIndicators won't show at
IDE start until any C/C++ project is profiled.

Please let me know which option is preferred.
Comment 2 Leonid Lenyashin 2009-03-12 17:07:57 UTC 
I'd redirect the question to Stepan, but first I'd like to ask a question: can we silently close the window right before
shutting down? If yes, then I'd vote for #1.
Comment 3 Alexey Vladykin 2009-03-13 11:50:00 UTC 
Closing indicators window before shutdown is possible (probably - I haven't checked) but sounds and looks like a hack.
Comment 4 Leonid Lenyashin 2009-03-13 19:02:07 UTC 
If it is a hack, then you can submit a enhancement request to have this behaviour supported in the platform. W/o a hack,
option 1 looks best for me. I'd like to know Stepan's opinion.
Comment 5 Alexey Vladykin 2009-03-16 13:47:37 UTC 
#1 is implemented in changeset http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/f2d216df998f.
DLight indicators are shown on startup if they were visible at previous IDE shutdown. I've filed issue 160340 against NB
window system to address this.
Comment 6 Quality Engineering 2009-03-18 22:49:00 UTC 
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200903181604* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)

Comment 7 Alexey Vladykin 2009-03-25 16:25:40 UTC 
Now that we can show inactive indicators in Run Monitor at IDE start, it's no longer so important to have Run Monitor
hidden by default. Reopen if this behavior does not satisfy anybody.
