When one is going to install NetBeans Chrome plugin, NetBeans informs him via a small dialog what to do. Please, add a warning (with bold text I assume) to this dialog that user cannot close the "plugin is debugging this tab" infobar otherwise the NetBeans Chrome integration will not work at all. Thanks.
Could you please clarify the behavior ? I don't see how debugging relates to the chrome plugin installation. That's two different actions. Plugin is used not just for debugging but it also provides other functionality. Does infobar closing block any functionality provided by plugin ? Because otherwise it seems the wrong area is chosen for the issue.
(In reply to comment #1) > I don't see how debugging relates to the chrome plugin installation. > That's two different actions. I don't think so. The problem is that if one closes the "plugin is debugging this tab" infobar (no matter if one clicks the Cancel or the "X" button), the NetBeans features like "Selection Mode", "Refresh on Save" or "Change Window Size" (and perhaps some more) will stop working. > Plugin is used not just for debugging but it also provides other functionality. This other functionality often relies on the debugger API. > Does infobar closing block any functionality provided by plugin ? Sure. If you close it, perhaps the whole integration simply does not work. > Because otherwise it seems the wrong area is chosen for the issue. This was discussed recenly on the Easel meeting in Prague (AFAIR you were on the phone). This is the best (and perhaps the only possible way) where to inform user _just once_ - right during the installation. Thanks.
BTW corresponding Chrome issue is here [1]. [1] http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=138258
>This was discussed recenly on the Easel meeting in Prague (AFAIR you were on >the phone). I wasn't. No problem then to add warning. But from my personal point of view it is not so useful to show this message on the install plugin stage. As a user I would just pay attention on plugin installation message and ignore any additional not related to the installation text in the message. No matter how it is marked out ( like bold ). Message should be contextual. And installation stage is not a context for mentioned infobar. That's of course just my personal opinion.

Well, the problem is not to bother user so often, ideally warn user just once; therefore we have agreed that this message should be in the installation dialog. In any case, I guess it can be easily changed for FCS if there is a better place for this warning available.

I guess this is a Beta stopper - Petře, can you confirm?
Not really, but I understand this is a safe fix.
Sorry, have to reopen since the text is not correctly visible (it is scrolled). Attaching screenshot...

Cc Marian. I don't think this is a stopper for beta if we don't have a 100% correct and safe fix.
My understanding was that _noone_ can easily guess that closing the infobar will _silently_ break the NetBeans integration at all. BTW this is clearly visible in the results of the UI study. This is the reason why I filed it as P1 and marked it as a Beta stopper - but of course, the final decision is on QA. Thanks.

wouldn't be better if the warning text contains "NetBeans IDE Support Plugin is debugging this tab" since it is what it really says?
(In reply to comment #14) > Sorry, I don't understand why the scrolling is the problem ? The screenshot is taken right after I clicked the Run button - I did not scroll the text myself. Shouldn't I see the text from its beginning?
Created attachment 125008 [details] screenshot from GTK I can confirm the same behavior on GTK+Ubuntu, also there is no new line ("empty line") between black and red font. It could be GTK-only issue...
