Description Jiri Skrivanek 2006-05-05 09:28:35 UTC
When I wanted to delete a project, welcome screen started to blink. Probably it
was clashing with delete dialog. I can't reproduce it anymore but I did the
following:

- create a new Java project
- do something with java project
- try to delete project. It closes Main.java file and welcome screen gets
focused in editor but it somehow interferes with delete dialog and it starts to
blink. See attachted thread dump.

Build 20060504-1526, WindowsXp, JDK1.5.0_06.

can you pls specify what 'blinking' means? was the welcome screen being
repainted repeatedly? or was it switching input focus between the delete dialog
and itself?

also did it happen after ide startup or much later on?

Focus was switching between the delete dialog and welcome screen.

Later on. I did something in IDE before I deleted project.

i wasn't able to reproduce the issue but i modified the welcome screen not to
steal input focus unless it is clicked with a mouse.
please reopen if you can still reproduce it.
