Description Geertjan Wielenga 2012-07-27 04:57:25 UTC 
If a TopComponent has TopComponent.PERSISTENCE_NEVER set:

- it will not open on startup, even if openAtStartup = true

- when WindowManager.getDefault().findTopComponent is used, it will open in editor mode, regardless of the mode that has been set
Comment 1 cdavis 2012-07-27 14:23:24 UTC 
Additionally, unless a TopComponent is persisted WindowManager.getDefault().findTopComponent(tcID) returns null.
Comment 2 Stanislav Aubrecht 2012-07-27 19:33:35 UTC 
This is caused by fix for #211331.
TopComponents with PERSISTENCE_NEVER should not have any .settings generated to XML layers and it should dock into desired mode itself when being opened.

But this abuse of window system API is so widespread that I reverted the fix for #211331 in core-main f6df55211b11
