Hi,

I am facing this below issues.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.	Open NetBeans 7.4 IDE
2.	Open any existing or new project.
3.	Open any file in Editor. For example lets assumeTest.Java program is being opened in Editor.
4.	Lets assume, this program have 100 lines of code. Lets go to line 50, kind of middle of the program file. Place cursor to line 50 and make it kind of middle of the screen.
5.	Add few lines in this program file. Anything, may be come few comments.
6.	Save the file.
7.	Close the NetBeans IDE by clicking the Windows close button at the top-right hand side.
8.	Re-open NetBeans IDE.
9.	It should bring the cursor to the same place, i.e. line 50 of the Test.Java file. To be precise, it should bring the cursor to the exact same place where I left it last time.

Instead:
1.	After opening NewBeans IDE, the Test.Java is getting opened by default, 
2.	******** “But instead of line 50, the cursor is placed at line 1 in the IDE”********. I expect NetBeans IDE to remember the cursor position of the last edited program file in editor.
3.	As far as I remember, the previous version of NetBeans IDE used to keep track of last edited line number of all the Program files at are kept open at NetBeans IDE and the same used to be set when NetBeans IDE used to be restarted.

This is very important feature which helps to remember where I was (the position and line number of code) during my last session work. Please help me to fix this issue.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks and Regards,
Supa

Hi,

Just now installed NetBeans 8.0 Beta, but unfortunately the same issue persist there as well.

Kindly fix this issues at the earliest. Anxiously waiting.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
