This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce the problem: 1) Open a java source file with at least one method or field (or create one). 2) Press Ctrl+7 to go to navigator 3) Start to type the method/field name (little floating field appears with the typed name). 4) Press Enter. The floating field disappears but the focus remains in the Navigator. 5) Second press of Enter finally traverses the focus to the editor (it should normally happen after the first press).
Some important notes: - it's worth to have big file with the method body invisible on the screen Then after step 4 you will see that method now is visible in the editor, but focus remained in the navigator Previously showing method body in editor and transfer of focus to the editor was atomic from navigator, that's why I think, it's related to the changes done by https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=268785
Yes, the editor get scrolled so it looks like it grabs the focus but the navigator possibly requests the focus too (possibly the field returns focus to the navigator) and there's some bad timing so that the focus ends in the navigator. Since the issue #268785 is in fact a one line change I've rolled it back for a while and verified that it's not the culprit of the behavior described here. Not sure if there wasn't some other commit that could cause that so that it would be some bad coincidence.
