Java: 1.7.0_40; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.0-b55
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_40-b40
System: Mac OS X version 10.7.5 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
User directory: /Users/ionuion/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/dev

Steps to reproduce
1. Create new project from samples: Anagram Game
2. Open StaticWordLibrary class
3. Replace the class name in the file with StaticWordLibrary3
4. Select SelectWordLibrary.java in the Projects window.
5. Click Ctrl-R. Rename the class to StaticWordLibrary3

Expected result:
the class is renamed as well as the constructor

Actual result:
only the class is renamed, the constructor name stays the same, leaving the class in an error state.

Screencast attached.

Because you changed the class name, it no longer has a declared constructor. Renaming the class will update all occurrences of this type, but as you changed it, it is probably not used, is not declared in a file with the same name and has no constructors.
