Step 1, typing in the Find field

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build nbms-and-javadoc-8568-on-20120120)
Java: 1.7.0_147-icedtea; OpenJDK Client VM 21.0-b17
System: Linux version 3.2.0-1-686-pae running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
User directory: /home/paolo/.netbeans/dev
Cache directory: /run/netbeans

I use most panels collapsed to increase the editor size (in example the "Output" panel) and the collapsed panels are opened when the mouse hovers on the relative button.

It happens sometimes that I place the caret in the search field and start typing (see step1.png, point 2), because the search field is so close to the panels buttons, sometimes the mouse moves a few pixels down and a panel, usually the output panel, opens (see step2.png, point 2).
When this happens while I'm typing the focus is suddenly returned to the editor and the search is typed in the editor sometimes overwriting the selected text(see step2.png, point 3).

If it's not too messy to implement it would be nice if the Find field didn't lose the focus when a panel is opened on hover.

Thanks,

Paolo

I just noticed that the freeze is triggered by changing the Gnome3 theme, please advice if it's a NetBeans bug or I should report it to OpenJDK7 (IcedTea).

Regards,

Paolo

I am sending this to evaluate in windows system.

I changed find textfield to find editorPane and it didn't help.
