Open Project dialog can get behind IDE Main window. As dialog is modal it is very annoying. I have RedHat 9/Gnome both JDK 1.4.2_04 and 1.5.0_b51.
Steps to reproduce: 1.Start IDE. (My fresh today build 17 May.) 2.Open Open Project dialog. 3.Click on main window. Dialog gets hidden.
OpenProject.actionPerformed calls chooser.showOpenDialog(null). Should be passing in the main window as a parent.
MainWindow made parent of the OpenProject dialog.
I have similar problem in my code which I filed as issue 43640 against winsys because I do not know what is wrong. Any advice welcome.
If you are creating the dialog just give it proper parent. (E.g. WindowManager.getDefault().getMainWindow() or something like that)
