Description CyberneticianDave 2015-03-20 12:07:02 UTC
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 201411181905)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_75
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.75-b04

NetBeans 8 onwards (to this point) doesn't properly support the Windows accessibility feature of window focus following the mouse. This setting can be found in Control Panel\Ease of Access\Ease of Access Center\Make the mouse easier to use

This feature does work in NetBeans 7.1.

If it matters, I'm working across three screens, using my mouse to switch between windows.
