Comment 1 Milutin Kristofic 2012-02-29 13:43:35 UTC 
I am sorry for your work.

What netbeans version have you used? dev or 7.1?
Does it happen always, regularly, or only once?
Comment 2 joedonnowitz 2012-02-29 17:38:26 UTC 
(In reply to comment #1)
version 7.1

netbeans_default_userdir="${HOME}/.netbeans/7.1"

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -J-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true"

netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03"

!?) i did start another ide eclipse while running netbeans, maybe java does mix things.



since my Post i noticed an other strange behavior, sometimes i was:

.) unable to set or remove a bookmark for current line.

if that happende i did not risk modifiy the file, instead i restarted netbeans.
no data was lost after.

.) i mostly use php and yml syntax highlighter.

.) after restart the taborder has changed , but this is maybe another problem.
.) also it does not remember second tabpanel while switching project group.


Was this information usefull?
Comment 3 David Strupl 2012-03-09 10:19:23 UTC 
The information has only been partially useful. The really useful information would lead to a situation when one of the developers would be able to observer the same behavior as what you have observed. Steps to reproduce the problem from scratch are the best info. Please read

Comment 4 Milutin Kristofic 2012-05-23 12:48:00 UTC 
Thank you for your reply, your setup looks ok and the other bugs you mentioned I don't see any link with save action. I have no clue how this fix without reproducible steps.
Comment 5 Blazej10q 2012-09-21 17:36:22 UTC 
I confirm this strange behaviour. It happened to me many times recently. I cant replicate environmental factors to determine when it happens, on which circumstances. Any ideas ?

I use NetBeans IDE 7.2 (Build 201207171143)
Comment 6 sjschinkel 2013-02-02 10:50:58 UTC 
I also can confirm this problem, happened to me multiple times, and I lost a lot of work. If this keeps happening, I'll have to switch to another IDE (which I really don't want to do), because this renders the entire IDE kind of useless, since I can't rely on it to save files properly.

Reproduction steps are hard to come by - there doesn't seem to be a clear cause. I'm using Netbeans 7.2.1 on Windows 7.
Comment 7 js_water 2013-02-05 20:03:43 UTC 
I experienced this behavior (i.e., opening files, no saving is possible). 
The problem was associated with files in a subversion working directory and when I removed the subversion plugin from the ide, the save capability immediately returned upon restart of the ide.
