Description greyfox 2017-11-09 11:05:21 UTC 
The windows ease of access feature: Activate a window by hovering over it with a mouse, is not supported with the Netbeans ui, and does not work as intended.

The Netbeans IDE window does not activate 'focus' automatically, as is the intended behavior with the windows feature enabled, and the user must manually click the code editor window with mouse buttons to resume typing.

The feature is located in:

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center\Make the mouse easier to use >>> Activate a window by hovering over it with a mouse.

OS Name:     Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
OS Version:  10.0.16299 N/A Build 16299
System Type: x64-based PC
