Description mclaborn 2013-03-28 20:39:10 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201302132200)
Operating System = Linux version 3.2.0-39-generic running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_10
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.6-b04

Screen shot of problem coming shortly. I have a string concatenation.  Selected a few parts of it and tried the "Introduce Variable" refactoring, but received error "Invalid Selection."  I'm quite sure the selection is a valid selection for refactoring.
