When debugging a java program with SunStudio (using the java debugging mode of dbx) we discovered that steps or stack navigation into java files associated with forms doesn't work; the editor tab doesn't get fronted. This problem exists in 5.5.1 and 6.0. We suspect it doesn't happen to debuggerjpda because we use Line.SHOW_SHOW while debuggerjpda uses other SHOW methods, so to reproduce, temporarily have debuggerjpda use Line.SHOW_SHOW and see if it fails as well. (See IZ 108834) ChihIn (Jean) Ko suspects it has to do with org.netbeans.core.multiview.TabsComponent.changeVisibleManually() only calling obj.setSelected() but not okClick(). From setSelected() javadoc: setSelected public void setSelected(boolean b) Sets the state of the button. Note that this method does not trigger an actionEvent. Call doClick to perform a programatic action change.
I don't follow your reasoning with changeVisibleManually(), it's possibly a duplicate of #68912
