Product Version: Sun ONE Studio, Native Edition (Build 18) Java: 1.4.1_03 To reproduce: 1. Mount and select any directory in the Explorer window. 2. Push Shift-F10 and select Properties with keyboard. 3. Focus is in the single Properties window. 4. I want to return in the Explorer and push ALT-V; ==> ISSUE1: Properties window overlaps the View popup menu. 5. Push the ESC key, popup is closed. Push CTRL-2 (Explorer window) ==> ISSUE2: Explorer window is selected but focus remains in the Properties window. Needs to close Properties for continue working.
MDI or SDI ?
MDI mode
With more details: in SDI mode, the second issue is observed only, push CTRL-V and focus remains in the Property windows.
Problem with transfrerring focus is already fixed in main trunk. See issue #33940 and issue #24877. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 24877 ***
Regarding menu and Properties window overlap: It is z-order. Properties window is above of main window and menu is lightweight component with main window as parent so it is behind Properties window. I think it is correct. If you disagree you can file separate issue and ask UI how it should behave. It is simply result of mixing MDI with separate native windows. But it will be the same for pure SDI.
