Is is not possible to select a view programatically. This is a huge problem since one is not able to select subsequent components inside a view if the view cannot be selected.
According to the mailing list makeVisible() "should work" but it doesn't, Even the method setSelectedTab has no effect at all.
The view is created inside a SwingUtilities.invokeLater block as well as the tab selection code.
Can you provide a small example that reproduces the problem?
