After import of 321 project (with GUI editing WS active and opened forms), Form Editor window is opened, but Comp. palette and Comp. Inspector are not visible. After action "View Form" both are displayed again.
In dev 20020709, only palette is missing, Component Inspector is visible. This is logical behaviour (still bug from user's point of view) -- there was no palette TopComponent in NB 3.2.1 => it is not stored in window system settings => winsys does not restore it in NB 3.4 when importing. I have no idea how to fix it -- there's no way how to recognize the opened form comes from imported data... So marking WONTFIX. This problem should be probably mentioned in release notes: If a project from NB 3.2.1 which contains opened GUI forms is imported, the Component Palette might be hidden when the Form Editor window is opened first time in NB 3.4. It can be shown using View | Form Editor menu.
Proposed release note (slight rewording; also switched 3.2.1 to 3.2.x): Description: If a project that contains opened GUI forms is imported from NetBeans 3.2.x, the Component Palette might be hidden when the Form Editor window is opened for the first time. Workaround: Choose View | Form Editor to display the component palette.
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
