With JDK 1.4beta: Switching editor windows with [Alt+left|right] inserts characters into the text when releasing Alt-key.
I'm still seeing this in NetBeans 3.3b3. I get random characters inserted whenever I use alt-leftarrow or alt-rightarrow.
I even cannot switch editor windows with [Alt+left|right] Reassigning to openide/windowing system
I detected previous behavior with JDK1.4 beta and the build from 6.Nov. Now I use JDK1.4 beta 3 and latest dev build(7.Nov) and the tab switching is correct. I have reproduced behaviour with character insertion. Reassigning back to editor.
Fixed in MultiKeymap.
*** Issue 17580 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
I've just downloaded and installed NetBeans 3.3b4. I'm using it with JDK1.4B3 and I'm still seeing this problem. The character appears *after* releasing the 'Alt' key
this bug has been already fixed in [maintrunk] Beta releases are made weekly, that's why the fix didn't appear in Beta4. Beta5 was released and the fix works correctly there. Please verify.
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
