Description mienamoo 2012-06-28 07:58:36 UTC 
NetBeans build 201206250002
JDK 7u5 32-bit

I have a project group with a fair number of projects. That project group was opening at IDE start-up, but in this case I didn't want to work on that group and I switched to another while the "Opening Project" task was still running. But this had almost no effect. The IDE continued opening the original project group, and the name of the group in the Projects window was still the original one. The only sign of anything happening was when I right-clicked on the projects window, the newly selected group was marked as selected under "Project Group". Only after clicking on it again (after the opening process completed), did the rest of the changes happen.

I would suggest that there should at least be some kind of feedback to the user.

fixed by disabling the group submenu while the initial project loading is running. No easy way really to intercept it and cancel.

That sounds good. It will avoid the weird inconsistent state, so I am happy to wait for loading to finish. :)
