Description bd 2012-03-01 00:33:52 UTC 
Typing an underscore creates a space.  This appears to occur in all contexts. E.g. 
- Creating filenames (while creating a new project)
- Entering text in the editor.

This did NOT occur in any 7.0, or in any other previous versions of Netbeans.  

FYI I am using Debian 6.04 (squeeze), Gnome 2.30.2.

Can you please try changing font in editor or/all LookAndFeel of the whole IDE?
It looks like some problem with displaying the underscore character.

Thanks
Comment 2 bd 2012-03-05 15:06:40 UTC 
The problem may to be limited the Monospaced font. The underscore does appear with several other fonts.  I think that Monospaced is the default font for Netbeans - I don't think I've ever changed fonts before.

FYI this is definitely a 7.1.1 specific problem.  I still have Netbeans 7.0 on my system and it uses the Monospaced font with no problem.

regards

> - Creating filenames (while creating a new project)
If you see the problem even in regular text fields then it's a JDK issue. Do you use Oracle JDK or any other e.g. OpenJDK? Please attach your messages.log http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqLogMessagesFile to the issue. Thanks.

The same file in Intellij Idea
Comment 7 pbw 2012-06-14 10:03:48 UTC 
The problem does not occur in IntelliJ Idea. See attached screenshots. I am using the Mac-issue JDK, Haven't switched over to the Oracle JDK 7 yet, as it is still in beta.
 Will attach my NB log.
