Description mjr_1974 2012-06-12 17:58:03 UTC
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.2 Beta (Build 201205031832)
Operating System = Linux version 2.6.35-32-generic running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_03
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 22.1-b02

I think that when a file (tab) is moved to another window, the "from" window should show the previously accessed file. To be clear, let's say I have two windows with the following tabs open:

Window1: File1, File2, File3, File4, File5, File6, File7, File8, File9, File10
Window2: File11, File12, File13, File14, File15, File16, File17, File18, File19, File20

If I access in order File3, File5, File1, and File9 which I move to Window2, Window1 should show File1 as the active one.
This is particularly useful when having dozens of files open in a window, to avoid searching for the previously accessed file.

I forgot to mention une ose case for this. Suppose you have all the code in one window and the test classes on the other one. After you open a new file you hit Ctrl-Shift-T to access the test that opens in the same window. Then you move the test to the test windows and you would like to see the class that matches the test on the other window, which was the one previously opened there.

This is not related to unit testing. re-assigning to windows system. Please evaluate. Thank you
