             Summary: Overlapping BaseProgressUtils progress dialogs globally 
corrupt the main window glass pane
                 Key: NETBEANS-1813
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1813
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Emilian Bold


BaseProgressUtils.showProgressDialogAndRun shows a modal progress dialog and 
puts a translucent grey fog over the main window.

It's possible with two overlapping progress dialogs to forever corrupt the main 
window glass pane. This glass pane is also used to show node tooltips (then the 
text is too long to fit).

See the attached TriggerBugAction which reproduces the issue on NetBeans 8.2 
and Apache NetBeans 10.

The explanation is simple. Each progress dialog will:

1. save the existing glass pane 
2. set the grey glass pane
3. restore the glass pane to the saved one when the task has finished.

If you have dialog 1 and dialog 2 the 2nd dialog will save the glass pane as 
set by dialog 1. But, if dialog 2 finishes last, it will forever set the glass 
pane to the grey glass pane.

I've also attached a video showing how the node tooltip toggles the grey glass 
pane instead. 

This glass pane switch logic is in 
platform/progress.ui/src/org/netbeans/modules/progress/ui/AbstractWindowRunner.java
