On Win 2000, Classic L&F, JDK1.4.2_01. I don't know, maybe this is just not finished yet, but it is annoying. The menu (list of opened documents) shown after clicking the 'v' button provides no selection feedback when moving mouse over it and cannot be used by keyboard. BTW what is the key shortcut to invoke it? Also if the editor mode is not selected (active) at the momnent of clicking the 'v' button, the list disappears immediately, probably due to some activation/focus transferring timing issue. Can be demonstrated with form editor opened and e.g. component inspector selected.
1) Colors: yes, accepted, will fix. 2) Keyboard access: No key, designed only for mouse users, keyboard users are expected to use Ctrl + ~ for switching between documents. Jano can provide more detailed explanation. 3) Focus/actiovation: you're probably right - Marek, could you look at this? (I'm not familiar with the code)
This is mostly fixed, just did the last bits.
FYI, I fixed the colors (no more black on blue) today, before I knew this issue had been filed. Also the change to use javax.swing.Popup may improve its behavior - the window positioning code disagreed with Sawfish. Highlighting and keyboard access work fine for me now - probably this issue is fixed, as is the focus issue if you had Explorer focused and then clicked the button in the editor container. I just fixed a remaining glitch in the popup sometimes staying open, so AFAIK this is working perfectly now. Checking in src/org/netbeans/core/windows/view/ui/tabcontrol/TabTable.java; /cvs/core/windows/src/org/netbeans/core/windows/view/ui/tabcontrol/TabTable.java ,v <-- TabTable.java new revision: 1.5; previous revision: 1.4
I've tested the problem when an other part of IDE is focused and this is working OK.
