After you create a new file the focus should be on that new file so that you are ready to start typing.

Instead what happens is that after the file creation dialog closes netbeans often does not have the focus,
you must first click on netbeans to set the focus.

it is a trivial bug, but when you are creating lots of new documents, after awhile it becomes quite annoying.


The interesting thing about this bug is that it depends on the specific category of document that you create.
For some documents, the focus is correct, but for others the focus is missing.

Using any of  ctrl-n  |  File > New File  | right-click the file tree and click on  New > (some file)

a dialog will now appear, choose the category and type of file and give it a name 
click finish
now start typing

result: sometimes it actually works, but often you can't type due to the lost focus after the New File dialog closes

When I create a new file of category 'Other' or category 'C' or category 'XML'  then netbeans does not have the focus afterward, 

But if I create a file using category 'Html'  then netbeans DOES have the focus.

Interestingly, there is an 'Html' category and an 'Other' category, both categories have entries for '.html' and '.css' etc.
If I create any file using the 'Html' category, then netbeans has the focus, and if I create any file from the 'Other'
category then netbeans does NOT have the focus, even if what I create is the same type of file.

For instance it is possible to select '.html' or '.css' from the 'Other' category, but if you do, they won't have focus.
But if you select that same exact file type from the 'Html' category then they do have focus after creation.
