Win2k sp1, jdk 1.3.1_02, build #609: I've never noticed this before, and I'm not sure if it's a bug. Either way, though, i find it a bit annoying...
My (previously hidden) panes (Project, Ant , Structure, etc.) are opening themselves up when I hide other panes. Steps to reproduce: 1) Right click the Ant pane's tab and move it to the right (if not already). 2) Right-click the Project pane's tab and move it to the left (if not already). 3) Set both the Project and Ant panes' options so their icons match the ones in the attached image. 4) Hide (SHIFT-ESC) both panes. All you should see now is the editor (it doesn't whether a file is open). 5) Click the Project tab to open the Project pane. 6) Click the Ant tab to open the Ant pane. 7) Click the Project tab to hide the Project pane (or click on the right-most icon that looks like the Minimize icon in Windows). 8) Click the Ant tab to hide the Ant pane (or click on the right-most icon that looks like the Minimize icon in Windows). As soon as you do step 8, you should see the Project pane auto-open itself. You can also make the Ant pane auto-open itself by doing the steps above in this order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 5, 8, 7. The same weird behavior happens if you repeat the steps above substituting different panes. It also doesn't appear to matter how the panes are oriented (one on left and one on right, one on left one on bottom, etc.). thanks, chris
