Línea de trabajo

En el informe no se identifica ningún archivo fuente ni ninguna prueba. Primero reproduce el comportamiento del foco en Windows 11 con NetBeans 30, comparando la minimización desde la barra de tareas, la barra de título y el teclado; se considera terminado cuando todas las rutas de minimización liberan el foco para que la escritura vaya a la aplicación visible.

Escrito por el modelo de indexación a partir del texto del issue.

Descripción

kind:bug needs:triage os:windows UI
Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 30

What happened
Image

On Windows, when I click on the NetBeans icon on the task bar to minimize it, it does not release the focus. The color showing it is still active but window size is already minimized.

The result is I lost focus on the program that is showing on the screen and should be active.

Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component

NetBeans Windows binary.

How to reproduce
  • Open NetBeans and open any file. This happens to any file type. Maximize or small window size is not important.
  • Open any program, for example web browser in maximum size, or maybe full screen with F11 (just for easy to see it).
  • Switch to NetBeans. It can be maximize or smaller size of window.
  • Now minimize use any of following: click on the icon on the task bar, or right click on NetBeans title and select "Minimize", or press keyboard WIN+arrow down. These ways will minimize the NetBeans window.
  • NetBeans window is now minimized but still focus/active. See on the task bar icon will look like my screen shot except the color theme. The web browser window will shows in maximum.
  • Type anything.
Expect

The text should appears in the web browser, maybe in the address bar.

Actual result

The text will added into a file that is currently opening in the Netbeans.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

Operating System

Windows 11 x64

JDK

25.0.3; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 25.0.3+9-LTS

Apache NetBeans packaging

Apache NetBeans binary zip

Anything else

$ java -version:

openjdk version "25.0.3" 2026-04-21 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-25.0.3+9 (build 25.0.3+9-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-25.0.3+9 (build 25.0.3+9-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

$ javac -version:

javac 25.0.3

This behavior happens for very long time ago. I can't remember what version but it used to be working properly before either. (Minimize = release window focus).

The interesting is, when I click on Minimize button on the top right (where contains Minimize/Restore or Maximize/Close), the NetBeans window will be minimized properly and release focus/active.

I used to think it was a problem with Java, But I tried witn JEdit everything works fine. So, this problem is only with NetBeans.
