Netbeans 8.0beta is running on Ubuntu 13.10, jdk1.7.0_45 and use the jvi plugin. I am working on several *.cpp *.h files in 2 different tab groups (left/right). All *.cpp *.h files are opened in the left and right tabgroup. The problem/annoyance I encounter is the following: I am working on the *.cpp file in the right tab group, and want to inspect some code in *.cpp from the left tab group. But in the left tabgroup the *.h is active, so I move to left tab group and change Header/Source (in my case button F4) Now the big surprise is in which tab group the *.cpp file is becoming active. Naturaly I expect in the SAME tabgroup where clicked F4 but this is NOT the case. The *cpp file is active now in the tabgroup where I was original editing a *.cpp file. Now I have to reorganize my right tab group (remember what file I was editing, etc, same for the left tabgroup, open file via dropdown etc. ) I would really appriciate that netbeans changes this behaviour same as in QtCreator and KDevelop. There stays the focus in the same tabgroup where one is switching Header/source. To reproduce this. Open a bunch of *cpp *h (e.g. 4) in left and right tabgroup. select a *cpp or *h in a tab group and switch header/source and you will see that the focus is not always staying in the same tab group.
This is very likely the default NetBeans behavior - when activating a CPP editor/TopComponent the window system detects that the file is already opened and activates it in the other editor group. Reassigning to CND team for evaluation.

Hello Stanislav, the 'default Netbeans behaviour' you describe is exactly what my problem is. I would like behaviour such that the SAME, current active editor group Stays active whit the desired cpp opened. Same behaviour as in qtcreator and kdevelop. Kind regards, Teun
