Description Jesse Glick 2004-10-11 20:00:18 UTC 
041011 but for a while before that; JDK 1.5.0. The
VCS Output window used to appear in its own mode,
which was fine; I could make it a sliding window,
put it at the bottom of the screen, etc. But now
it seems that it opens in the editor ("Documents")
mode, which is inappropriate for a tool window.

Note that Diff output is fine in the documents
area, but I am talking about the output from e.g.
CVS Add.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2004-10-12 11:13:35 UTC 
I've seen this in the past, but it did not happen to me recently. We
specify the correct mode in mf-layer.xml. So peraps this is a fault of
Window System? Do you know how to reproduce it that it starts to open
in editor?
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2004-10-13 18:58:43 UTC 
Not sure how to reproduce it... haven't tried from scratch yet.
Initially I assumed that it was just a corruption of the window system
metadata, so I shut down the IDE and deleted every file in
Windows2Local that I thought could be related (by manual inspection).
That did not fix it.

If you don't see it happening, close as WORKSFORME and I will reopen
if I can figure out how to reproduce it.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2004-10-13 22:10:05 UTC 
If I do a better job of deleting files from Windows2Local, VCS Output
appears in the correct place. So I am not sure how it got into the
editor mode. Some D&D bug??
Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2004-10-14 10:28:38 UTC 
It looks like it's not permitted for the VCS Output window to be
docked into Editor mode at all. When I try to D&D it there, it's
forbidden.

Therefore it must be a bug of Window System or D&D infrastructure in
Java IMHO...
Comment 5 Milos Kleint 2004-10-14 11:59:27 UTC 
AFAIK this kind of behaviour happens when the mode for the component
cannot be found.
Comment 6 David Simonek 2004-10-14 12:03:45 UTC 
Nice implication, Martin :-)

Indeed, winsys had a bug 49283, after module turn off/on, components
started to behave like mentioned here.
I believe my fix of 49283 also fixed this issue, so closing as
worksforme. Reopen with reproduction steps if occurs again. Thanks.
Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2004-10-14 18:34:01 UTC 
This was RESOLVED w/ no resolution (IZ bug?), pls. correct.
Comment 8 David Simonek 2004-10-15 12:23:43 UTC 
Oh sorry. Here I go again.
