On windows platform: 1) remove the hack from core/../windows/frames/DefaultConteainerImpl.java (see issue #29939). 2) build (patch) IDE. 3) start IDE and open form You see the cycling (activation) between the source editor frame and component inspector frame. Why this happens?
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
