NetBeasn IDE 5.0 [200511091047] on jdk 1.5.0_05 1) open a form 2) expand some node in inspector 3) open another form 4) select some component in the form 5) switch back to previously opened form => the inspector is totally collapsed. This can be very annoying in case user has component deep in hierarchy (which is not uncommon in some classic layouts) and after few adjustments in another form he must expand all the hierarchy again. I found this problem when I wanted to make two components in different dialogs to behave and look same (there is no action for copy of properties of components, so I had to switch forth and back between the two dialogs and the component was not visible in designer for one of them)
Fixed in trunk. The Inspector now remembers the selection for every opened form.
