> the focus behavior for _File_ > _Close_ has now changed. @nmatt Not really. There's a difference between focused component (Swing concept) and active component (NB concept). Before NB15 it was much easier for active/focused to be different components. The steps in https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/8288#issuecomment-2705433980, leave the `Projects` window _active_ and at the same time the `Editor` is _focused_. This breaks some things, see #4437. > The change in behavior might very well be due to other changes since NetBeans 15 Unlikely. > in case something was overlooked in the present fix The effect of #4603/#8288 is to `TopComponent` activate the last focused component of a sequence of focus changes. It is certainly true that the active `TopComponent` behavior has changed. These PRs do not change the focused component. The focus change after `Alt-F` from floating window is a 3 step process. Typically ``` permanentFocusOwner old ExplorerTree@d60489e, new QuietEditorPane@19568ae9 permanentFocusOwner old QuietEditorPane@19568ae9, new (null) permanentFocusOwner old (null), new JRootPane@7ac53ef ``` And then hitting `\<ESC>` moves focus to the previously focused component ``` permanentFocusOwner old JRootPane@7ac53ef, new (null) permanentFocusOwner old (null), new QuietEditorPane@19568ae9 ``` Which is why the active `TopComponent` becomes the editor. If `Alt-F` were simply one step, `ExplorerTree --> JRootPane`, you would probably get the behavior you're looking for. The purpose of this PR is to keep the active `TopComponent` in sync with the focused component. This gets us back to the previous message > Where focus ends up is handled by the KeyboardFocusManger. > You might want to open an issue about focus changes that you find problematic. Perhaps some adjustments to some focus traversal policy would provide more intuitive behavior. That's out of scope for this PR. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
