Build 200406080606 Invoke menu View | Editors. No submenu appears. (Hope I choosed the right component/subcomponent)
Jano, I have never seen UI specification for this "feature" so I don't know how it should work ? So what is expected behaviour ? Karel, have yuo had opened some editor ? (I think no, right ? ;)
is part of multiview UI spec I believe. reassigning
Milos, thanks , you are right, it's a part of Multiview UI specification : http://ui.netbeans.org/nonav/docs/ui/switchers/index.html If I understand it right, it's context sensitive, measn if opened and selected tab in the editor is java, the menu contains only Code item, if there is selected form file, menu contains Code and Design, right ? So what about initial state if there is no opened file in the editor ?
no idea. either empty or have code unselected or something.. assigning to dusan for clarification and update of UI spec.
It's simple: No opened file in the Editor -> no Editor is visible -> Editors menu item is disabled You can find it in the spec now.
Dusan, Thanks ;)
BTW: I noticed that it is empty also when java file is opened (probably no alternate editors are allowed). Does it mean, that there should be one (selected) submenu item "Source"? Now there's still nothing and I didn't find any information in UI spec.
fixed in trunk.
It is well disabled on JDK 1.5 (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51a). But it is NOT disabled on JDK 1.4.2_04: The View|Editors still contains "Source" item in submenu (even when no any editor is opened). This item has a radio button, but on choice it works like a checkbox: switching have/don't have circle sign.
Please forget the JDK version information - it seems to be more complicated with RANDOM behavior. My scenario: 1) Run IDE with new user dir 2) Welcome screen is opened 3) View|Editors submenu has "Source" item which has radio button behaving like checkbox (has/doesn't have the circle sign) 4) close Welcome screen 5) RANDOM: A) View|Editors is disabled - it has no-gray arrow icon on the right ">" and has visualization problems as described in issue #44688. B) View|Editors is enabled [A happens more than B: approx 8 vs. 2 occurences] 6) Continue by creating a new J2SE project (which opens java file) 7) View|Editors behaves like in (5) (depends on A or B) 8) Close opened java file 9) View|Editors behaves still like in (5) (depends on A or B) Tested on WinXP JDK 1.5 & 1.4.2_04. Conclusion: - Disabling has random behaving. - Don't know any case (java/HTML/property file/property editor/JFrame form file) how to enable View|Editors after it was disabled at startup (5A case) - but it's probably my wrong feature understanding.

hopefully fixed this time.
Verified. BTW: The radio button still behaves as checkbox on WinXP (Solaris works fine). But it's another bug.
