Created attachment 149230 [details] window screenshot with suspect IDE Platform plugin enabled I can't really use Netbeans because the main portion of the window is never drawn. I've tried opening new blank files, and I can see evidence that it does open (some of the toolbar buttons, like cut/copy/paste, become enabled, plus the Close Window option in the Window menu is also available), but nothing below the toolbar ever shows up. This issue was intermittent at first, but now it does it every time. I've installed several plugins recently, so I tried disabling them one by one until I could see the editor again, and the one that fixed it was disabling the IDE Platform plugin -- the next to last one I could try. I even tried uninstalling it and redownloading/installing it, and it made no difference. I also tried removing and reinstalling the CSS Source Model plugin, which IDE Platform depends on, but no change. I cannot access the terminal window to provide a thread dump because of this issue, and I do not know where ide.log is located (I searched for it).
Please try removing your user dir and reinstalling the application (http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqWhatIsUserdir) If the problem persists please attach your IDE log and reopen, thanks. (http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqLogMessagesFile)
