Created attachment 133045 [details] messages.log Windows 7 Pro 64-bit JDK 1.7.0_17 64-bit. I was typing along in the Java jVI editor when the entire Netbeans UI froze. It's absolutely unresponsive. I see the message "malformed floating point literal" on the status line. I assume I've lost my edits. When I look at the Windows Resource Monitor I see that netbeans64.exe has CPU at around 15%. My system has two quad-core Xeons and 16 gig. 15% of that is quite a bit for doing nothing. I cannot readily reproduce this, unfortunately.

please report this bug to jVI (https://sourceforge.net/projects/jvi/). Hint: Thread dump seems to be necessary to evaluate why was UI frozen (http://wiki.netbeans.org/GenerateThreadDump).
When I submitted this report I figured it probably wouldn't help much because I can't provide a repro scenario. I was following what I thought were the guidelines for submitting a bug, and they didn't tell me about the thread dump or how to get one. Maybe this info should be added there? When the problem occurred it was too late. There was no way to get a thread dump. I was not running from a console. I will see if I can add "--console new" to the shortcut for the future.

FWIW, the thread dump can be generated using jstack or VisualVM even without having the console - see: http://wiki.netbeans.org/GenerateThreadDump#jps_.26_jstack_Tools (for jstack) and: http://wiki.netbeans.org/GenerateThreadDump#VisualVM (for VisualVM)
