-------------------------------------
Summary: Closing unsaved editor tab from dropdown can put IDE in
unusable state
Key: NETBEANS-5855
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5855
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: platform - Window System
Affects Versions: 12.4
Reporter: Eirik Bakke
If the main editor area's dropdown menu is used to close an editor tab, and
said tab has unsaved changes, a dialog will pop up to prompt the user to save
their changes. At this point, the left mouse button will no longer work,
however, and in fact the left mouse button will continue to not work if the
dialog is closed by keyboard action (e.g. pressing Escape).
On Windows, it is usually possible to get out of this state by opening a popup
menu or other dialog, e.g. by right-clicking something in the Projects pane or
clicking in the menu bar (in which mouse clicking does seem to work). On MacOS,
however, the state seems persistent; I could not easily figure out how to get
out of this state other than by restarting the IDE.
The relevant component is org.netbeans.swing.tabcontrol.ButtonPopupSwitcher.
See also https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2528 , which intends to make
some changes to this component. And see also
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5853 , which is a more cosmetic
repaint bug in the same component.
