Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2001-04-20 19:30:08 UTC
You are using a beta of the 1.3.1 JDK, so caveat user. Someone should figure out
what is wrong and probably file a bug for the JDK team before they release
another version of 1.3.1. I assume this is not reproducible under 1.3 FCS?
Comment 3 Robert Dankanin 2001-04-21 23:01:16 UTC
Just wanted to file a bug on it,
reproduced on build #34 succesfuly - e.g. right after start - I have tryed to 
make a Screen Shot (by pressing "Print Screen" key on keyboard) and then while 
performing to paste it to Paint application that exception was thrown.

Jesse is right - can't reproduce with JDK 1.3

Could reproduce it also e.g. with NB3.2 first build (#1) under JDK 1.3.1, so it 
seems that problem is really in new JDK 1.3.1 and not in IDE.

Comment 4 Peter Luttrell 2001-04-21 23:16:09 UTC
ok, sounds like a jdk 1.3.1 bug.

could one of you guys post it to the jdk team, as you have more info on what 
you're calling then i.

also, note that i havn't yet seen this exception until now and i've been using 
jdk1.3.1 and daily builds of netbeans 3.2 since about build 12 of release32. 
this was why i originally suspected netbeans.

feel free to close bug.
