"Thumb Tacks" on non-essential windows that allow them to be collapse to a small size, and then expand to regular size on mouse-over or when necessary would be great. For example: 1. Explorer Window - Can collapse to small size at Left of Screen when in Thumb Tack mode. On Mouseover, it could expan to last-known size when expanded. 2. Execution Window/Debugger Window - Can collapse to small size at bottom of screen, and then pop up to last- known expanded size when data is sent to it by application being run. Same can apply to Debug Window The "Thumb Tacks" can be icons at the right corner of windows, that toggle between Pin-Down and Pin-Up positions, showing the enabled or disabled status of this Thumb-Tack view.
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.
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.
issue doesn't apply to new window system - verified
