This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
This action should open the Tasks window to let users know about the new functionality.
Thic bug does not describe the issue correctly. Add to category brings up a dialogue to select/add new category. When a category is added to the (initially blank) list, it stays there for as long, as NetBeans is running. Adding to the newly created category does indeed bring up Tasks window, but there will be no new item in there that we just added - the Tasks window will be empty in my case. Once NetBeans is closed, the next attempt to add bug report to a category will bring up a dialogue with a blank category list again. Software should be tested before released. This is sad.

Perhaps already fixed. In case you are able to reproduce with the current development state, please file a separate issue
opening the TD window on every add to category seems to be a little bit too aggressive. Maybe it would be enough to check in DashboardTopComponent if never haven't been opened yet and open it only in such a case (or maybe only once per nb session).
fixed in jet-main #edc4b46e0719
Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201505130001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/edc4b46e0719 User: Tomas Stupka <tstupka@netbeans.org> Log: Issue #236273 - Add to category action does not open Tasks window if it is closed
