I'm often using Alt+Tab to switch between apps. When I switch form NetBeans to an other app, IDE's menu stays highlighted, so when I go back to NetBeans I cannot type until I press Esc or Alt to exit from the menu. It doesn't happen when you switch slowly and after switching you release Tab and then Alt. Steps to reproduce: 1. When NetBeans IDE is active press and keep Alt 2. Press Tab to switch to an other app 3. Release Alt, then release Tab If the second app's window is smaller than IDE you will see, that File menu of NetBeans is highlighted. When you switch back to IDE (doesn't matter how, even with mouse on the taskbar), you'll see the File is still highlighted and you cannot type in a text editor.
Thx for report, however it's duplicate of 42954 and 42113. Unfortunately it looks like I can't do anything to fix this issue (it's Swing's LF issue), but at least I'll try to find out what is happening behind the scenes. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 42113 ***
closed by mistake.
This seems to be very common and annoying. See the following reports: issue 13163 issue 16481 issue 16755 issue 37554 issue 42954 issue 42113 issue 42499 Isn't that a reason to raise priority?
I've read all the issues you point to and it seems that it's been repeatedly evaluates as jdk bug, not netbeans. http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4841881 We can hardly do anything about it. closing as won't fix.
OK, you forced me to install JDK 1.5 beta 2 and it solved the problem.
Switch NetBeans to Metal look and feel, and the problem will disappear. And Metal looks better anyway.
