Description ngbrito 2005-12-06 14:37:15 UTC 
As can be seen in the attached screenshots, the "Welcome" window appears as an
empty slot in the window list displayed when you press the window selector
button (the down arrow at the top right corner of the editor window).
Even worse than that is the fact that sometimes when you select that empty slot
you get the following exception:

java.awt.IllegalComponentStateException: component must be showing on the screen
to determine its location

This doesn't happen always but when it happens I have another window selected
(see screenshot2) when I choose the empty slot.

My setup is:
NetBeans IDE 5.0 Beta 2
NetBeans Mobility Pack 5.0 Beta 2
NetBeans Profiler Milestone 10

I confirm that it is a duplicate of issue #68291. I also confirm that it has
been solved in NetBeans IDE 5.0 RC1. Closed it.
