Description Maya Venkatraman 2001-12-03 20:44:12 UTC 
IN MDI mode cannot get focus on minimized window

In MDI mode , have two mininized source editor windows (say A and B). Go
to Window > Windows > Editing > A . This does not move
the focus to the minimized window A. There is no way to get KB
focus to this minimized window.

Unfortunately, this is a Swing bug. But, in NetBeans you can focus
minimalized windows by menuitems in menu View or by appropriate
shortcuts (Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, etc.).
Comment 2 Jiri Mzourek 2001-12-04 15:42:02 UTC 
I get it. You are right. Reopening...
Comment 3 dpavlica 2001-12-04 15:55:35 UTC 
There are exist three ways How to invoke concrete view, but no one 
works:
1.CTRL+number ...to invoke concrete view in actual workspace
2.CTRL+SHIFT+F12 ...to invoke Workspace Explorer dialog, where is 
possible to change workspace and view
3.Window>Windows> ...There is possible to invoke only view not 
workspace

The solution is to add this functionality to 2. and 3. too
Comment 4 dpavlica 2002-01-18 09:03:18 UTC 
This bug will be resolved during redesign of WorkspaceExplorerPanel. 
We will add ability to this panel for invoke minimized windows in 
next release.
