This seems like a setting meant for applications whose windows are a set of "documents", and where grouping the individual document windows into a single window as set of tabs make sense. It doesn't really fit for applications that have different top level windows that aren't documents that can be grouped together naturally into a single window with tabs. > I can imagine it would take some time to properly go through all of these and > I think we should schedule that rather than just disabling this and in all > likelihood forgetting about this. Do we have a go-with-the disabling RFE to > support it ? That seems a good approach to me: make this an opt-in feature that applications could decide to use. And if you go that route, filing the RFE now is a good idea. In any case, I'll file an RFE for JavaFX as well. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/3407
