While starting debugging session Breakpoint window always switch to maximized view, which is a bit annoying. There was a comment (https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=154411#c1) indicating that this is desired action, but it's annoying. I wouldn't mind that it would turn into float (like output/debugger windows, when they are already opened but minimized) but maximizing it forces user to close it / minimize it every time session is started (to save space).
What exactly do you mean by your "breakpoint window switched to maximized view" statement Wojciech? Breakpoints view should by default be docked in Output window hence it should copy its dimensions. Any screenshot? Thanks!
Simple reproduction steps 1. In debugging, open breakpoints window docked 1. Open breakpoints window in non-debug view 2. Minimise it 3. Start debugging

Ignore my first comment. Didn't mean to send it. See the screenshots I attached instead
It is basically the same as the Output-window bug here, except different window: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=159356
Reproduced. Thanks for the steps.

Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201505080001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/22d8f94e3313 User: mentlicher@netbeans.org Log: #249782: Remember the initial minimized state of debugger components and restore the minimized state after the debugger session finishes.
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201507170001) Java: 1.8.0_51; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.51-b03 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_51-b16 System: Linux version 3.13.0-37-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; cs_CZ (nb) I am sorry but I still cannot get "Breakpoints" view remember its minimised state from the previous debugging session. Hence reopening.
Jirko, this is not intended to work in the opposite way. When you open a debugger-related window while there's no debugger session, it remains opened after a debugging session is started. (E.g. when you open Loaded Classes window and then start a new debug session, it remains open, even though this window is not opened in that debugging session by default.) The same approach is there with minimized windows. When a debugger session is started, we do not minimize windows, that are already opened. IMHO this is the expected behavior. In this issue the bug was that a debugger-related window remained opened even after the debugging session was finished. And this was fixed, at least it behaves correctly for me now.
