Description mmikeyy 2011-04-03 20:11:22 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.0 RC1 (Build 201103280000)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_24
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 19.1-b02

I have always split the open files in groups. One set of tabs for language files at the top, a separate set in the middle for PHP classes, and a third set at the bottom for JS files. When I need to open a new language file for example, I normally put the cursor in one of the already open language files and the next file that opens is added to that set of tabs.

Now, all of a sudden with this RC release, any file that is opened is automatically added to the bottom set of tabs regardless of where the cursor is.

If another set of tabs is maximized, all tab sets are displayed (current set no longer maximized) and the new file is added at the bottom.

Who decided that it should be the user's intention to open a file not where he is working, but elsewhere in a location that is not even visible on the screen???

*Very* annoying.

this bug has been assigned the 'resolved' status. However it is not resolved at all.

I just downloaded RC2. All files open in the first set of tabs that was created, even if a new set of tabs is maximized and the other sets are not even visible.

It would be nice to see this fixed!
Comment 4 Stanislav Aubrecht 2011-04-11 08:13:34 UTC

Thanks a lot - verified.
Comment 8 mmikeyy 2011-04-11 14:45:08 UTC 
BTW... since nightly builds are not official releases, are we expected to report bugs in them??

Just asking because I am now reverting back to RC1 as I just noticed that the code folding functionnality is absent from the latest nightly build.
