Description mjr_1974 2012-07-25 14:25:08 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.2 RC1 (Build 201206272359)
Operating System = Linux version 3.5.0-6-generic running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_05
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.1-b03

After dragging and dropping opened files from one panel to another several times during normal workflow (having a fair amount of them opened in each panel), the active tab remains partially hidden. Sometimes, double clicking it will fully display it, but sometimes won't. See attached picture.

There already is null check at the appropriate line in the stack trace, please reopen if reproducible in the final version of NB 7.2 or in dev builds.
Comment 3 mjr_1974 2012-09-23 23:09:52 UTC 
Still a problem in:

NetBeans IDE Dev (Build nbms-and-javadoc-9445-on-20120921)

This is still happening with NB 7.3

This bug makes using the IDE real pain when open with multiple files in the editor. It's probably the bug that disrupts my workflow the most, and it's been around for years. Should this be mark as a priority 2 for it to be fixed?

Please provide exact steps to reproduce.

I arrange the IDE to have the Projects tree on the left, and then two areas (divided vertical) to documents. In the left one I open tests and in the right one the tested files. Start playing around with the documents dragging and dropping documents from one section to another or even arranging them to have extra sections. After playing enough you will notice the error as shown in the picture (but I couldn't find a way to exactly reproduce the bug). I program with the IDE for about 8 hours a day and this bug shows up everyday (no exception to this rule).
Sorry I cannot be more specific regarding the exact steps to reproduce. I could not find an order of actions that will trigger the bug...
Comment 9 mjr_1974 2013-03-07 18:06:55 UTC 
Shouldn't this be marked as P2? I mean, the whole point of working with the IDE is to edit documents, and the IDE does not handle them as it should. You see a tab that you think its the active one and it is not. So you think you're working in a file but in fact you're editing/adding code in another one. This, IMHO, is a major defect...
