Description Jesse Glick 2011-06-09 14:15:48 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20110608-7cb3dff0ecea)
Java: 1.7.0-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 21.0-b13
System: Linux version 2.6.32-32-generic-pae running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
with --laf Metal

In this build, when I try to use the mouse to drag the scrollbar of any TC - editor, explorer-type, Bugzilla, profiler snapshot - which is docked normally (editor mode or not), the scrollbar moves briefly but then stops; the cursor changes to the "drag" icon (arrow plus box); and a red drag outline appears around the window, all as if I had initiated a drag on the title bar.

This does not happen for windows open in sliding mode.

The bug happens even if I am careful to keep the mouse pointer within the bounding rectangle of the scrollbar.

Workaround is to press ESC while continue to drag the scrollbar, without releasing the mouse button.

Not sure if it is related, but I just noticed that Window > Editor (Ctrl-0) is also disabled even though the editor is open on one file. Close All Documents was enabled, but Documents... was not; after selecting Close All Documents, it became disabled as expected. Now after reopening my file using File > Recent File, all these menu items become enabled again. Perhaps despite canceling the drag with ESC the window system still believes the TC is gone somewhere. But I am not sure I can reproduce this bug.

Oddly, I was unable to reproduce in 20110609-0827ab3536ac (which does not have that fix).

it should be reproducible when dragging in a non-editor window because i've turned dragging of editor modes off in the meantime
