dev build 200311241900 If I change a property value and click on another property instead of hitting ENTER to commit changes I expect it to still commit, like all other Windows applications do. This is "expected behavior" of the Windows (and I think Linux too) UI. I think Netbeans should do the same because: a) it's expected and b) this allows for fast input if the user makes use of a mouse in one hand and a keyboard in the other
Changing to enhancement. This was a design decision in doing the new property sheet - that an explicit gesture should be required to commit the value. One of the myriad problems with the old property sheet was that it was not at all well defined what the commit gesture was. At the same time, I'm willing to keep an open mind about this, so I've added some experimental support for it - I'll commit it to the property panel rewrite branch once I've tested it, and it will be merged in sometime next week, so if you start NetBeans with -J-Dnetbeans.ps.commitOnFocusLoss=true you can try it out, and we can have the discussion about it.
