NB4.2 2005 05 05 1800 JDK 1.5.0 I have about 10 or 12 files open for editing. I have index.jsp and index.js as the first two files. I open web-inf/jspfs/index.jspf but the editor placed it at the far end so I have to pull its tab next to index.jsp. That way I can edit cross-reference when all the related files are next to each other. No, 20050505 just won't let me shift a tab pane over more than three panes. As the 13th pane, I had to shift index.jspf four times, over three panes at a time. I recall I could that with no problem in 200504xx. [Diversion: remember the project group issue#? This is another example why it would be great to group files together]
I think this is another issue due to using Swing on XP dual display. I moved NB window to primary display and then moved it back and the panes started being movable. But IMNSHO (not so humble opin), Editor performance should not be affected by Swing's misadventures with Windows technology.
reassigning to openide/winsys
Hmm, I can't reproduce, either with 2 monitors or with 1 monitor, everything works well. ssong, could you please try with latest build? If bug reappers, please write down exact reproduction steps (when switched to 2 monitors, before starting netbeans, after starting?)
Too late for NB5.0, please reevaluate.
Works for us and no information for a long time, closing.
