[jira] [Updated] (NETBEANS-696) Seing Designer palette shows in non-designer view of same file

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-696?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

will mason updated NETBEANS-696:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
h2. context
 * Editing a Swing GUI form (call this Window #1)
 * Also displaying the Java source code in second window (call this Window #2)
 * Working with view side-by-side

h2. expected / desirable
 * Locate the Designer specific panels with the GUI designer
 ** The Palette
 ** The Properties display - which only relates to the GUI designer
 * These should be in same frame

h2. actual
 * Refer to screenshot
 * The GUI designer Palette is displayed in Window #2
 ** And Not With the GUI form being worked on.
 ** This makes using the Palette from the other window cumbersome.
 * The GUI properties panel is displayed in Window #2
 ** Again you need to change context to examine any properties
 * Commonly different windows are actually on different monitors and locating palette and properties elsewhere doesn't make a lot of sense in the modern day.
 * A second problem is that when you are editing the JAVA file the palette/properties area still shows!
 ** With nothing to display - Just a grey large mass of wasted screen area

{panel:title=Two Views on Same file}
