OS: Windows 7 Multiple monitor setup (Laptop w/ external monitor as primary device) Setting GLWindow.preserveGLStateAtDestroy(true) has no effect during NewtCanvasAWT reparenting operation. jogamp.newt.WindowImpl uses wasVisible to determine resource preservation on destroy, however NewtCanvasAWT sets the GLWindow invisible before reparenting, thus always destroying GLContext.
Created attachment 566 [details] Log with newt/jogl debugging The logging describes the following setup. Two GLWindows, one with an animator, the other without. All logging before the "Before Switch" line involves initialization and adding the AnimatedGLWindow to the newtCanvas. After the line logs the switch/destruction of the AnimatedGLWindow for the second GLWindow.
