Comment 4 Petr Nejedly 2008-02-01 11:13:36 UTC

This is strange. Java clipboard system failed to talk to X server somehow.
Do you remember what kind of data, from what application did you have in the clipboard before switching the focus to the
projects explorer?

Comment 5 Petr Nejedly 2008-02-01 11:21:48 UTC

BTW: What window manager do you use?

Comment 6 nrcerik 2008-02-01 17:34:17 UTC

I am using Metacity and Gnome 2.2. There is a constant flow of these errors lately while I'm using netbeans. Also my 
clipboard was empty...

Comment 7 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2008-02-07 16:10:02 UTC

Reassigning to new module owner Tomas Holy.

Seems to be caused a wrong deserialization of ProjectTab TopComponent. Need to find reproducible case to confirm my guess.
