Re: editor tabs don't always highlight currently viewed file

Hello Thomas,

   let me ask you few questions since it works fine for me in development build #200504031800 of NetBeans 4.1. Which version/build number of NetBeans are you refering to ? Do you really say that if you open two Java files A and B, the B is visible, "Back" arrow in editor's toolbar is enabled and you press ALT+K, the editor displays A's content but B's tab remains highlighted ? If so, it would be better to file the bug into IssueZilla and provide as much info as possible including platform, steps how to reproduce or screenshot.

Besides, I would say [email protected] is more appropriate list for questions like this. You also get wider audience there ...

Best regards,
-Jirka
