#896 SVNPlugin: Floating dockable is blank
When the SVNPlugin dockable window is floated (by right-clicking its button in the docking area and selecting "Float"), the floating dockable window is blank if the operation was invoked when the dockable window is located at the bottom.
I had the very same problem with my plugins, in which I make the beanshell code in dockables.xml return the existing instance of the dockable if one already exists for the view. Though I don't know exactly the reason for this problem, a web search showed a solution which works for my plugins (try the GlobalPlugin for example): Instead of returning the same JPanel each time, return a new JPanel which will wrap the existing dockable instance. This problem is probably related to some cached layouts, and this solution fixes it.

I have the same problem with fastopen.
Strangely, reloader doesn't have this problem.
The fix doesn't work for fastopen because it's a default focus component, and requires keyboard focus in its textcomponent whenever it gets focus. If the JPanel that was returned is not a defaultfocuscomponent, the dockablewindowmanager won't call the focus method.

I'm sorry, I am not familiar with default focus components, but maybe the wrapper panel can be created as one?
Anyway, this issue is the result of the poor jEdit docking framework.

I don't see the problem you're describing, so I must have the steps wrong to reproduce. I did this:
1. SVN dockable docked at bottom, SVN Browser docked at right.
2. right-click on SVN button at bottom.
3. select "Float" from popup menu.
4. I see a new window containing the dockable and it seems to be working correctly.
What am I missing in these steps?
I'm running Java 1.6 on ubuntu, jEdit from SVN revision 10369.

Try floating it from all 4 docking areas. I wrote 'bottom' because the problem usually occurs when you float from the bottom, but it can happen from other docking areas instead. Try both dockables of the plugin.
