Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.1 Beta (Build 201508041349) Operating System = Windows 8.1 version 6.3 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_51 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.51-b03 Where the line numbers normally appear while editting a c++ program, now only displays '-'. Tried toggling line numbers on/of but still don't show up.

I found out that exiting and restarting the IDE fixed this problem.
This turns out to be a zoom problem. When in normal view, line numbers are too small to see. If I zoom in the source code, line numbers are eventually readable.
It should be fixed in Bug #251798 I am now checking if this fix is in 8.1 Beta
Yes, it is fixed in dev build, but it is not in 8.1 beta. I am sorry. http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/file/5687e691c7fc/editor.lib/src/org/netbeans/editor/GlyphGutter.java *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 251798 ***
