How backward / forward actions are supposed to work ?

[Chauk-Mean]

Hi,

I'm using Netbeans 6.5 beta on Windows.
I have multiple Ruby files open. I changed the cursor (i.e. caret) position within each file.
The backward / forward buttons remain disabled. The shortcuts (ALT+LEFT, ALT+RIGHT) do not work either. Am I missing something ?

Thanks in advance.

How did you change the caret position? The actions should be enabled
after you navigate to another location for example by using the Go To
Declaration action.

It seems that backward / forward actions work only for "real" navigation between files (via CTRL + Click or Navigate \ Go to Declaration).

Hi Erno,

I changed the caret position "manually" via the mouse and/or the keyboard.

Yes. I just noticed it.

What is strange is that if you close one of the file you navigate from / to, the buttons are still enabled but they have no effect.

This is a bit disturbing. I would expect one of the following behaviour :
- the button is disabled
- clicking the button reopens the closed file.
