Summary: NB hangs when opening Tools|Options window in Windows L&F

Description Chris Hogue 2001-07-25 17:37:02 UTC 
MDI: When the source editor is maximized and the Tools|Options menu item is 
selected, the application hangs. It will no longer accept mouse input. When the 
mouse is over the source editor at this time, it flashes _very_ quickly between 
the arrow and the cursor, making it seem as though it's going into some loop 
switching back and forth. NetBeans must then be killed through Task Manager.

Steps to reproduce:

1. put the -ui com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel flag in 
ide.cfg.
2. Start NetBeans.
3. Open a source file.
4. Maximize the source editor.
5. Select the Tools|Options menu item.
6. Application hangs.


It is using (effectively) all of the CPU during this time. Interestingly, this 
doesn't happen when the source editor is not maximized. 

When the source editor isn't maximized and the options windows is brought up, 
everything is fine. Then if you double click the source editor's title bar to 
maximize it, the application hangs again in the same way.

The cycles in the stacktraces are the same as in bug #11649. Dafe,
please reopen if I am wrong.
