I doubt this would be specific to java.editor. More info will be likely necessary. May be related to issue #119617. Sounds like a problem in settings. From what you describe I would say that the keymap for the editor pane got reset for some reason. It would be helpful to find a way how to reproduce this problem. In the meantime could you please attach the IDE's log file - it's in <ide-userdir>/var/log/messages.log. Also, is this a standard Netbeans distribution (no additional modules, especially jVi)? Thanks If you find steps how to reproduce this please attach them here. Also it might be useful to attach message.log and uigestures files right after this happens (eg. close the IDE and attach the files here). Thanks //closing unreproducible INCOMPLETE issues older than a month wadechandler, any progress with this? Could you please attach logs, that vstejskal suggests? Or any other info that could help to solve this problem. Feel free to reopen the issue then... Thanks a lot Yes I'll try. The main problem is this only occurs on one project which I have wrapped up the active development. I'll be getting back into it soon. I had almost forgotten the issue :-(. The issue seems related to updating files from another IDE or program and then switching back to NB and then when it reloads the files or something like this. This is a standard NB daily build of NB 6.5 in which this was occurring, but I had installed auto projects from the update center, and this is what I thought I was using, but there is a project properties dialog, so maybe I'm using a free-form project? I also have JasperReports installed, and there are many different errors from Jasper in the log, but the files which were causing the issues were Java files when I would attempt to fix an issue with a hint and at times CTRL+F, but it seems that would happen after I had either CTRL+TAB to switch between files or had edited the files in an external editor (JDeveloper 9i in this case). Anyways, I'm going to attach my log files in a couple minutes from another system, so I'm going ahead and reopening in case you guys can find anything in them. I'll be getting back into the project which seemed to cause this soon, and with this project I'm using Windows XP SP2. Not using this project, and using NB 6.5 dailies on my Linux machine has not seemed to cause this issue. Created attachment 70498 [details]

Latest log file from the last time I worked on this project
I attached 3 log files. These are the only ones I have from the time I was last working on this project. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll begin working on the project again. Thanks for the log files Wade. The first one seems to be the most interesting, even though it does not show anything in particular related to editor settings (keybindings). I'm lowering it to P4 for now, but please make it P3 or even higher if you find a way how to reproduce it. Thanks Will do. When I restart work on the next phase of my project I'm sure I'll be switching between the two IDEs again, so I should be able from the beginning, versus near the end, start watching for the issue. Thanks. On linux and ubuntu I encounter this bug long time ago when I was still using Netbeans 5.5 and found that gnome scim have problem (stealing the focus) with my Netbeans usage. So just remove the scim and the problem gone. And now on Ubuntu 8.04 and Netbeans 6.5, I never use/install scim again :) So I suspect, it is related with some application eg: Input Methods Software, etc that compete/stealing the focus from eg: Netbeans. And it might happend in other platform (my case is Linux and Gnome) when similar application are trying to steal focus. It seem it is not Netbeans specific bug, but it is Java Swing and Linux bug. Please see the Sun Java bug report for this case http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6506617 It was happening to me on XP. But, the main problem for NB is that it isn't affecting JDeveloper or IntelliJ as far as I have seen or read. Of course as Eclipse uses SWT this particular bug doesn't affect it. But, it kills NB for those running into it. Too, as it seems to only be affecting NB we need some workaround or something. Can't wait for Java 7 for those folks who can't use it or they can't use NB...lost users and bad word of mouth. It only manifested for me when working in another IDE, JDeveloper, and switching back and forth between NB working on the same files, having them both opened at the same time, and I'm not 100% sure why, and not near as much as it did for some of these folks. It has never happened to me on openSuSE 10-11. Please see issue 164712. It is reproducible 100% of the time and I believe it is identical to this issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 89893 *** |
