------------------------------------
Summary: Pressing Home/End scrolls to beginning/end of whole
document if tooltip is open
Key: NETBEANS-403
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-403
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: editor - Key bindings
Affects Versions: 8.2, 9.0
Reporter: Eirik Bakke
Attachments: HomeEndBug.png
When a tooltip is shown in the Java editor, for instance because the mouse is
hovering over an error indication, pressing the Home or End keys on the
keyboard scrolls the entire document all the way to the top or end,
respectively instead of to the beginning or end of the current line. This is
extremely disruptive, and likely very confusing to users, as it only happens in
the stated situation.
A workaround is to move the mouse pointer away from the editor to close the
popup after examining an error. Most users will not be able to discover this
workaround, though--for myself, it took two weeks to discover the correlation
between the tooltip being open and the bug occurring.
This bug seems to have been introduced in 8.2, and I just confirmed that it is
still present on the new Apache NetBeans 9.0 beta release.
