see the attached screenshot, in which "TODO tab" fails to list the todo in the
current source file; the todo list might be looking only for selected
TopComponents in "editor" mode;

It should actually look for selected components in all modes which lies in
"editor" area; But the OpenIDE lacks any api to find whether a given mode lies
in editor area or not;

I am also developing a netbeans based application, and my QA team reported
similar bug for me;

Yes, but this is RFE, so changing to enhancement type.

But the use case seems strange to me - todo window should show todos only for
selected editor top component, is that right? So just listen to
TopComponent.Registry and no API is needed IMHO. Or am I missing smt?

moving opened issues from TM <= 6.1 to TM=Dev
Comment 5 David Simonek 2008-10-23 11:47:29 UTC 
Implemented (I believe by saubrecht) by methods
boolean WindowManager.isEditorMode(mode) 
boolean WindowManager.isEditorTopComponent(tc)
