After calling some actions in Versioning Explorer, which perform GUI operations in the IDE frame, Versioning Explorer window retains the focus, but mouse events are not properly dispatched/processed in it after that. How to reproduce: 1. Start IDE and mount CVS FS 2. Modify some file and call Versioning Explorer for it 3. Call Diff Graphical action on one of the revisions - notice that though diff window appeared in the main IDE frame, window focus is still owned by Versioning dialog 4. Try to call e.g. popup menu on some tree node in Versioning dialog - notice that it doesn't work properly without manual switching of widow focus there and back.
Yes, confirming this as valid bug. Reproduced in #030321_1 build of Sun ONE Studio 5.0. Workaround is to dock "Versioning Explorer" into normal explorer of the IDE.
This is a general focus problem, not only with Versioning Explorer. It's impossible to fix this in VCS modules, it must be handled in the window system.
Will be investigated, what OS, JDK?
I tried it on Windows 2000 with JDK 1.4.0_02 and Linux RH 7.2 under GNOME with JDK 1.4.1_02 (both JDKs are recommended ones for Nevada.
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
