This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: -Open a Process diagram -Close one of the container nodes that contains some children. -Go to Navigator. -In the Navigator tree select one of the children which are inside the collapsed Diagram element. -The Diagram element remains collapsed and therefore the node selected in Navigator is not visible. Recommended fix: UC1 - User is traversing and selecting Navigator nodes - some of these Navigator nodes correspond to Diagram elements which are in a collapsed state. - User selects a Navigator node that not visible in diagram because the element in inside a collapsed container - Diagram container should auto-expand in order to show the selected navigator node. Supporting argument for recommendation - this is how the the competition's Navigator works relative to collapsed diagram elements. The elements auto-expand on navigator node selection. - this is what at least SOME users will expect. Counter arguments against this recommendation - Some users may not want auto-expansion. They may want the expansion to occur only on demand - like DBL-Clk on Navigator node. [ Problem with this is that our current Navigator / Diagram story is a very eager sync (as is competition). Eager sync means that simple selection of navigator node results in parallel selection of Diagram element. DBL-clk on Navigator node invokes default action for the node.] - There is no way to re-collapse Diagram from the Navigator, user will have to switch to Diagram to re-collapse Diagram element. [Should there be a way to collapse Diagram nodes from Navigator?] HIE - do you have an opinion? Absent rebuttal, we will implement the recommendation.
