When the property window is undocked (via Winow->Undock View) it does not display the properties any more. Steps to reproduce: Click on an item in the explorer (e.g. a filesystem root) while the properties view is still in the explorer. The properties will be displayed. Now click into the properties sheet (to make it active) and choose Window->Undock view. The properties sheet will be displayed in a separate window but won't display anything. 3.5 Dev build from 2003-02-26, JDK 1.4.1, Windows 2000 SP2
It's reproducible. In my opinion changed selected node cause this problem. Properties are again displayed when you select the same node in explorer.
Reproducable on today's trunk? And if you change selected nodes, does it then work properly, or it never works again? As of this week, the property sheet should detach itself from the selected node (but remember it) if removeNotify() is called - this avoids a listener leak where the node will hold a reference to a closed property sheet forever. It will reattach itself when it is added into a new window.
It works now in the 3.5 build from 2003-03-13
Okay, closing issue.
