8418: FileEditorManager.openX methods don't focus editor

Hello Steve,

FileEditorManager.openFile(VirtualFile, boolean) and
FileEditorManager.openEditor(OpenFileDescriptor, boolean) open the
requested file, but focus remains with the editor selected prior to
their invocation.

Guess what the "boolean" parameter is for. :)

Hi Dmitry,

I have that parameter set to true, and this works correctly under Idea 7.0.

Thanks,
Steve

Hello Steve,

From what context do you invoke these methods?

Hi Dmitry,

the code doesn't execute execute in a read or write context (ApplicationManager.getApplication().runWriteAction...), it's just called from the entry point of the plugin.

Thanks,
Steve
