Description mienamoo 2012-09-05 06:56:27 UTC 
NetBeans build 201209020001
JDK 7u5 64-bit

I wanted to change an existing database connection to point to a new server. So I right-clicked on the connection on the Services panel and chose Properties. I changed the URL. But the moment I tabbed out of that the properties dialog vanished! I opened the properties dialog again and I noticed that although the display name and URL now both were pointing to the new location, the title of the dialog still displayed the old URL. And when I changed the URL a second time to see what would happen, the Properties dialog stayed open but the contents disappeared (I guess the node was deselected).

Consider creating a custom properties dialog that will be more user friendly and behave more consistently? :)

Verfied with 7.2.1 - happens there (properties disalog vanishes)
checked with 7.3rc2 - the dialog stays open when changing URL

-> closing as fixed
