Description honglin 2002-10-24 02:16:00 UTC 
The Keyboard ShortCut (Alt+F5) for "Start" active
doesn't work.
If remove this keyboard short cut, and add another
one, like (Ctrl+Alt+S),
This new short cut will work.

To reproduce this bug:

1. Bring up Orion FCS FFJ.
2. In explorer [Filesystems], Select "ColorPicker"
under $USERDIR/sampledir/examples/colorpicker
3. Try the shortcut Alt+F5, the debugger session
won't be started.
Comment 1 Jan Jancura 2002-10-24 14:20:46 UTC 
I can not reproduce it on Wintel. Can you try it on Sun, Marek, please?
Comment 2 Marek Grummich 2002-10-24 16:44:43 UTC 
I am not able to reproduce it on my Linux. However, I had to disabled
a shortcut (Alt-F5) previously not to be consumed by my window manager
(KDE). I'll try it later on Sun.
Comment 3 Marek Grummich 2002-11-07 14:16:43 UTC 
I am not able to reproduce it on Solaris, because  I don't know how to
  change an action that is tied with Alt-F5. The default action is
'Restore Window'. However, it has been already written when the
shortcut is changed to another one, the debugger starts.
Comment 4 Jan Jancura 2003-01-29 09:05:36 UTC 
can not reproduce 
probably conflict with some other software

Comments from reporter:
-------------------------------------
I downloaded the NetBeans IDE (3.5).  Can reproduce this bug in it.
Didn't see any fix to me.
Same bug in Rainier, which is base on NB3.5.

Comment 6 honglin 2003-07-22 19:10:29 UTC 
Verified that Jan Lahoda's following guess is right:

"As you are using Solaris, I suspect you are using 
either CDE or Gnome. But on both of these WM, the Alt-F5 shortcut is
bound to a window manager action (on CDE it is Restore, that is
usually disabled). The applications (not only NetBeans) does not
recieve this shortcut at all and therefore they cannot react to it.

You can verify this guess as follows:
1. You can assign another shortcut to the "Run in Debugger" action (in
the menu: "Tools/Keyboard Shortcuts", in the tree "Debug/Run in
Debugger", press "Add..." and choose for example ctrl-Alt-Shift-F5
shortcut). I tested this shortcut on Solaris/CDE and the action works
perfectly."

Comment 7 David-john Burrowes 2003-11-20 18:38:14 UTC 
I'm not sure why this was marked as invalid.  It seems very
undesirable to me that this common action can't be done on Solaris or
various Linux window systems.
Comment 8 Jan Jancura 2003-11-21 09:57:29 UTC 
Ok. I agree.
 But this is not classic bug for development, as you probably agree.

Jano, please evaluate. Thanks
Comment 10 jrojcek 2004-01-17 16:38:19 UTC 
Will try to define a new shortcut for 3.6.
Comment 11 Milan Kubec 2004-02-23 10:06:14 UTC 
Is there any new shortcut defined?
Comment 12 Jan Jancura 2004-04-20 13:40:17 UTC 
will be fixed for nb40
Comment 13 Jan Jancura 2004-05-31 13:07:34 UTC 
fixed in trunk
Comment 14 Quality Engineering 2010-04-29 09:11:54 UTC 
Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
