I can switch to search results from Window menu (or Ctrl-Shift-0) but it does not move focus there. I want to be able to navigate thru the list of items under "Found 2 matching nodes.". Switching to Output window with Ctrl-4 and using Alt-< does not transfer focus either. Once I click into the Search Results window I can navigate everything.
This bug is just a concrete example of bug #40507 ("Activating a TopComponent does not move focus to its focus cycle"). I can provide a workaround (substituting the missing functionality of the window system mentioned in bug 40507) but not a clear solution.
*** Issue 43195 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Fixed in the trunk. When the Search Results window is activated, the tree of found files and occurences obtains focus. Modified file: utilities/src/org/netbeans/modules/search/ResultView.java (1.18)
in nb200507181000, the focus is changed properly, user is able to navigate through the search results. Verifying.
