Bernard updated NETBEANS-1669:
------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 11.2
> Editor History lost
> -------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-1669
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1669
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: editor - Navigation
> Affects Versions: 8.2, 9.0, 11.2
> Reporter: Bernard
> Priority: Major
>
> First, Jira is pathetic because it cannot even attach a java or zip file:
> "JIRA could not attach the file as there was a missing token. Please try
> attaching the file again."
> So I copy the Java file and kindly ask to create a Maven project containing
> it, otherwise the searches will not work.
>
> How to reproduce:
> - Open project Sample class Sample
> - Place cursor on line 3 column 37 FLAG_1
> - Press [Alt+F7] find Usages
> - Click button [Find]
> - In results, hit [Enter] on found position which locates at line 9
> - On line 9, append a comment to it: "// I edited this
> This should mark the last edited text location to go back to.
> - On line 9, select / highlight partial string "FLAG_" and press [Ctrl+F] Find
> - Hit [Enter] [Esc], takes cursor to line 16 FLAG_2
> - On first occurrence, [Esc]
> - Press [F3] find again, takes cursor to line 16 FLAG_3
> - Press [Down] + Highlight line after found text and copy [Ctrl+C]
> - [Alt+Back]
> Expected behavior:
> Should go back to position where the last search started, line 9 with
> "if(FLAG_1){"
> Actual behavior:
> Goes back to line 3 which is the position before the position where the
> search started:
> private static final boolean FLAG_1 = true;
> So the position where the search started is lost from history.
> This is actually quite critical because:
> I start the search because I want to find some code that is similar to what I
> just want to continue coding, as a copy and paste operation. So I suspend my
> current train of thought. After I have actually found that piece of code, I
> cannot get back to where I want to paste it to.
> Some more background: Because of this scenario of suspended thought, my
> memory is not sufficient to even remember the condition under which this
> error occurs because I am already distracted. That, and the fact that my way
> of thinking is perhaps not unique, rather most people would end up in this
> trap, that is most likely the reason why this has not been fixed yet.
> ...
>
> package test.sample;
> class Sample{
> private static final boolean FLAG_1 = true;
> private static final boolean FLAG_2 = true;
> private static final boolean FLAG_3 = true;
> private void method1(){
> if(FLAG_1){
> boolean debug = true;
> }
> }
> private void method2(){
> if(FLAG_2){
> boolean debug = true;
> }
> if(FLAG_3){
> boolean debug = true;
