[#200206110100; jdk1.4] 1. Run IDE with clean userdir 2. Run Setup Wizard(Tools->Setup Wizard) 3. Select Window mode to SDI and press Finish 4. Open Options dialog 5. Run Setup Wizard(Tools->Setup Wizard) 6. Select Window mode to MDI and press Finish The Options dialog is now as internal frame and it is maximized but should be outside and not maximized.
I think WONTFIX. We have no way how to decide if window should stay outside or be placed into MDI desktop (CENTER) during conversion from SDI to MDI. (Window with different constraint like explorer LEFT are placed to MDI main window and attached. Assigning to UI.
Request is valid. Windows should keep their type and constraints when switching from MDI to SDI and back to MDI.
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.
Additional attribute must be added to mode to keep frame type for both MDI/SDI to keep correct frame type when GUI mode is changed.
Because Window System v1 will not be supported from now by our team, all old winsys issues (now "core/window system v1" issues) are going to be closed as WONTFIX. Changes in API which emerged both from UI spec and problems with adjusting to the older API are described in the document http://core.netbeans.org/windowsystem/changes.html. It shows also recommends how the client code should be adjusted to the new window system. If you think this issue apply also to the new winsys then change the subcomponent (to "core/window system") and REOPEN it.
In NB 3.6 there is new winsys implemented and the issue doesn't appear there - I am closing this issue.
