Every time I start a new debug session NetBeans chooses one of the panels seemlingy randomly. It is *never* the panel that I chose to display during the last run. The only rule that I can detect when displaying the panel is: "Never display the one that the user wants to see". Re-ordering the panels does not make any difference, e.g. I start a debug session. The panels are order: Call Stack, Watches, Local Variables, with "Call Stack" beeing the active one. So I select "Local Variables" because I'm not interested in the others. Then I end the debugger session. do some coding, debug again. Now the "Call Stack" is *again* the active one (even though I ended the last debugger session with having the local variables active). As in both cases the leftmost tab is activated, I re-order the tabs to make the local variables the left one. Then I start a debug session. But now the Call stack is *again* the active stack (but now beeing the middle one) This is *very* annoying. Is there any logic that choses the active tab? If so I'd like to understand it, to make sure the local variables are always the active tab when I start a debug session (I know I can simply close the others, but that seems a very ugly workaround)
We do know about this, but it's not explored yet. Our opinion is that the window system is involved. It's actually already submitted as issue #90134. We understand that this is a usability problem, it will be definitely solved into NB 6.0. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 90134 ***
Verified as duplicate of already known P2 issue.
