Description tkellerer 2002-04-15 14:50:22 UTC 
Subject says it:
FFJ 4.0 ea does not restore the size of the help
window

When you close and re-open the online help the
last size of the window is not restored (the
position is)

NetBeans 3.3.1 _does_ restore the help window size!
Comment 1 Jan Zajicek 2002-04-30 17:15:43 UTC 
It works fine in FFJ40CE build #020426_1. Seems like get fixed.
Comment 2 pgodeau 2002-06-17 14:53:41 UTC 
It does not work with NetBeans 3.3.2 so I reopen it.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2002-06-17 15:36:08 UTC 
Confirmed on NB 3.4 beta under Linux.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2002-06-19 20:13:23 UTC 
Actually cannot reproduce the stated bug - what I reproduced is that
the *position* is forgotten (always recentered) though the size is kept.

Have patch. The code did remember the old position and size, but was
always recentering the window anyway by mistake.
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2002-06-19 20:25:40 UTC 
JavaHelp.java 1.13
Comment 6 Marian Mirilovic 2002-06-28 13:17:07 UTC 
verified in [nb_dev](20020628)

Help window position and size is remembered.
Comment 7 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 16:16:45 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
Comment 8 tkellerer 2004-02-19 10:03:25 UTC 
There seems to be a regression, because the current 3.6 dev build does
not remember the help window's size (after a restart of NB, it does
remember the size during one session)
Comment 9 Jesse Glick 2004-02-19 16:23:02 UTC 
Can you be more specific as to how to reproduce the problem? Just to
make sure we do not misunderstand you.
Comment 10 tkellerer 2004-02-19 16:33:49 UTC 
Start NetBeans
Open the Help window. It's far too small, so I resize and reposition it.
Closing and re-opening the window will preserve size & position.
Close NetBeans

Start NetBeans
Open the Help window. It's still far too small :-)

Reassigning to Marek, new owner of output window and help system
Comment 12 mslama 2004-04-21 14:43:48 UTC 
Help window is not part of winsys ie. its properties (bounds) are not
persistent. If it should be persistent it must save it itself somehow.

Reassigning to UI to define if it should be persistent or not.
Comment 13 jrojcek 2005-10-13 14:03:30 UTC 
This seems to be a duplicate of #26937. Reassigning to Marek.
