Description Exilor 2013-07-07 16:22:05 UTC 
When keyboard focus is on a file in the code editor, and the find shortcut CTRL-F is pressed the "Find:" search field shows up but the keyboard focus remained on the file in the code editor.

Expected result: in 7.3 pressing CTRL+F would bring the Find search field as well as bring that field in focus. One very beneficial use of this was when you selected text in the code editor then pressed CTRL+F, the selected text would automatically be in the search field.

I cannot reproduce your issue.

1, I have 7.3.1 netbeans with empty userdir on ubuntu, java 1.7.
2, I open sample projects - anagramGame
3, I opened one file - StaticwordLibrary.java
4, I have caret/cursor at first line, i pressed ctrl-f
5, Findbar is opened, cursor is in find combobox.

5 is expected. 

I checked on colleague's windows 7 and it also works. Can you better describe what is wrong? You are first to report such important thing as focus problem with findbar.

This seems to happen inconsistently. I am sure this issue has never happened in 7.3 however.

Weird side issues sometimes happens where pressing the CTRL-F. For instance when pressing the shortcut the search bar sometimes doesn't even show up. I just hear a default Windows 7 *bing* sound as a form of rejection to the shortcut. Restarting Netbeans resolves the issue until the next time this happens.

I have disabled the single plugin I had to test and see if that may be the cause. Although I doubt it. I will report back if this issue persists.
