I think this is not a bug.
Comment 2 zikmund 2004-01-29 12:15:50 UTC 
I think it's usability bug.
When you set it on/off in one dialog, you will be quite surprised that
it applies also to another dialog.
I can't find any good usability reason for this behavior. If you have
one, please tell me.
Comment 3 capSS 2004-01-29 12:39:15 UTC 
But these two dialogs have very close meaning.
So we can think that if someboddy wants to autoclose dialog for 
execution jsp and starting tomcat then he will want to autoclose 
dialog for stopping tomcat.
Comment 4 Marek Fukala 2004-01-29 13:04:26 UTC 
You are both right. One can consider this as a bug, other as a
feature. My opinion is that this is still the some dialog used from
various places for very similar purposes which are deeply related. I
suggest to close this one since there is a lot of more important
bussines to be done. Karle, if you want, please change it to
enhancement and we can discuss this one later.
Comment 5 zikmund 2004-01-29 15:36:36 UTC 
Yeah, I think I understand your arguments now. They are right, but
still I think it's at least good for discussion in the future.

I'll try another one argument which plays for me -- it's an
implication, not equivalence from formal point of view:
If you uncheck autoclose in deployment dialog it implies you want it
unchecked in Start/Stop server too.
But if you uncheck autoclose in start/stop server dialog it doesn't
necessary mean that you want to wait for every deployment of your
servlets modification (in case that server's already started).

Setting to Promo-D, downgrading to P4 and changing to enhancement as
suggested Marek.
If it should take too much discussion and no any consensus in the
future I'd prefer to close it as invalid, because it's not so important.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
