I recently opens a java file using openfile paramater in netbeans ide. There is mising showing netbeans window on foreground. It worked correctly in pass. Why this feature was removed?
If a given file is already opened in the editor but covered by another open file and the IDE is asked to open that given file (from command-line, using syntax: netbeans --open <filename>), the editor containing that file may not be brought to the front. This bug is random, it may work 20 times and then stop working. Tested on JDK 1.4.2_09 running on Linux 2.4.22.
A random issue, a repro-case would help a lot...
This might be a threading issue, possible related to bug #113903.
Removing RANDOM keyword, since on MacOsX Leopard it is always reproducible. Passing to Window System API for evaluation since that issue is about open TopComponent, which is done in CloneableOpenSupport.open()

I am on macOS Sierra, I am facing the same issue "open <filename> may not bring the file to the front". When I open a file, netbeans opens but the file is not opened. Netbeans 8.2
