In SDI mode, window content, i.e. file system nodes do not re-gain focus after switching from and to the project window. It is possible to focus with the mouse, but not with the keyboard. This reproduces always with the following testcase. Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200401301900) Operating System = Windows 98 version 4.10 running on x86 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.4.2_03; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.4.2_03-b02 How to reproduce: - Create an empty userDir - Start NetBeans - Menu|Tools|Setup Wizard|Separate Windows Mode|Finish - Maximise the NetBeans IDE Toolbar window - Maximise the FileSystems Window - Maximise the Editor Window - Menu|Window|Project - In the Project frame inside the Explorer window, locate on "Project Default" - Rigt click, "Add Existing..." - Select sampledir, click OK - In the Project frame inside the Explorer window, locate on "sampledir" to ensure it has forus - Press [Ctrl+left arrow] to open the Filesystems frame inside the enclosing window. - Press [Ctrl+right arrow] to go back to the project frame. - "sampledir" has lost focus - Try any keyboard action e.g. repeated [Tab] to give focus to "sampledir" - Still no focus
Sorry for bothering again Tim, I was looking thru our not-yet-evaluated bugs and found out that you own ten of them. As release 3.6 criteria is to have all of them evaluated (as well as to not have any P1, P2), could you please look at these bugs and set the target milestone to something else than TBD? Thanks in advance and one again, sorry for bothering.
The last comment leads me to feeling that not addresed to me but to Tim, changed subcompoment to any Tim's. Tim, if I'm wrong feel free to reassign back to me.

Ignore the last comment, it's just Jarda being obnoxious :-) Jirka, I reassigned it to you because it's a focus issue with an explorer view, the project tab, and is probably very close to (if not fixed by) the code touched by your fix for the menu problem when opening a new project. If you want, I'll look at it, but you know this code better.
Giving this issue back to Jirka. If only reproducible on Win98, possibly close as wontfix.
Has anybody tried this testcase? This error does not occur in earlier versions of the IDE, consequently it is a deterioration. Why is this getting a target milestone of future? I am raising the priority because I feel that overall, in SDI mode, the quality of the IDE has deteriorated dramatically. For that reason, I am using an old version from before the majot GUI changes in my daily work.
