Description chiss 2004-02-06 16:02:29 UTC 
[ JDK VERSION : J2SE 1.4.2_02 ]

Opened a source file, right-click a Java's core class method and selected "Show Javadoc". It took me a while to notice the editor's new tab with only the "browser" icon (no text!!!) containing the Swing internal browser, showing the desired Javadoc. At the very least, it should have grabbed the focus and become the "selected" tab, showing me the info I had just requested. I don't think I would have noticed this tab if I had had more than a few files opened. Since all the other tabs have some text, why not this one as well? How about "JPanel[Javadoc]" or something like that?
Comment 1 chiss 2004-02-06 16:40:36 UTC 
Got the same problem when trying to invoke the "Auto-Comment" menu 
item from the "Tools" right-click contextual menu. A new document tab 
is added, but it doesn't become the "selected" one. Again, if you 
didn't notice the new tab, you think the action doesn't work or is 
not finished yet.

I guess the problem is not really Javadoc related, but more on the 
new Windowing system...

I am increasing a priority, because it is really annoying behaviour.
Comment 5 gholmer 2004-02-10 14:41:24 UTC 
Happens with CVS diff, as well.

Comment 7 Jan Pokorsky 2004-02-10 17:06:43 UTC 
Added back [36cat] prefix. It is used for some special query.
Comment 8 Jan Pokorsky 2004-02-12 21:40:56 UTC 
The editor tab containing javadoc or Auto-Comment customizer gets
focus properly now.

The javadoc tab's label is out of javadoc module scope. You can file
an issue to the openide component so that the internal browser
provides some title.
