Product Version: Sun ONE Studio 5 Standard Edition (Build 030904) IDE Versioning: IDE/1 spec=3.42.2 impl=030904 Operating System: SunOs version 5.8 running on sparc Java: 1.4.1_05 To reproduce the bug: 1. Having focus in the Explorer[Filesystem], create Properties File through File/New/Other/Properties File. Source editor view appears, but focus is on the node created. ISSUE 1: Focus should be in Source Editor view. Ctrl-3 highlihgts Source Editor[<Properties File> node *] view, but focus remains in Filesystems view. ISSUE 2: There are no properties in the table yet, but 'Remove Property' button is enabled. 2. Fource focus into Source Editor view using mouse and create New Property. 3. Press Space in Key or Value table cell to start editing. ISSUE 3: You can`t move focus to the next component using Ctrl-Tab.
I am able to reproduce all the three mentioned issues on a PC+Linux platform with a NetBeans 3.6 beta. They will not be fixed in NetBeans 3.6. Issue #1 is caused by bug #40507 ("Activating a TopComponent does not move focus to its focus cycle").
issue 1: fixed - the focus is moved into the editor by now. issue 2: fixed - Remove Property button is disabled when no property is selected (for example when there is no property). issue 3: this seems to be a misunderstanding. It works correctly. The only "problem" is that (on some look and feels?) Ctrl+Tab moves focus on the scrollbar of the textarea. After that just simple Tab must be used to move focus to the next component.
