Development build #200704261800 of NetBeans 6.0 Windows XP, JDK 1.6.0 RC build #101 Description: ============ IDE throws exception when user tries to rewrite the default version of generated HTML document from scratch and presses < character twice. This ends in the frozen IDE occupying 100% of CPU cycles and completely unusable operating system. The exceptions are attached. As a result user has to kill the IDE which is very hard to do itself and takes 1 minute because of almost no resources for processing mouse motion events. Steps to reproduce: =================== 1. Launch development build of NetBeans 6.0 with empty userdir. 2. Invoke "File|New Project..." from main menu. 3. Push "Next >" and "Finish" buttons. 4. Invoke "File|New File..." from main menu. 5. Select "Other" category", "HTML File" file type and push "Next >" and "Finish" buttons. 6. Press Ctrl+A to select whole text and press '<' character. 7. The first exception is thrown. 8. Press "Close" button and press '<' character again. 9. IDE throwns another exception and starts to consume 100% CPU.

Already fixed on April 26th. Thanks for the precise report anyway. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 101620 ***
Do you mean this will not be fixed in Milestone 9 build we are going to show off at JavaOne? :-| Anyway, what a shame I didn't download one more day old build not to waste my time reporting this duplicate. :-)
AFAIK the release60-m9 branch was created before Mila commited to trunk the first fix which caused the problem. So M9 isn't broken, but still contains the original problem, in trunk both the original problem and the regression are fixed.
