This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I would be surprised if this has not yet been reported, but it also surprises me that it has not been fixed yet, since it seems simple. I couldn't find an obvious match when I searched the database for this issue. In the combo box on my tool bar it shows the configs as: J2SEConfigurationProvider... java.lang.Object@1235... Seems like to toString() is wrong or the box needs a renderer to make this into something readable.
It seems to be working for me now, although I am sure it was not several times during the past week. I will try to find a reproducible test case as quickly as I can. The build I am using now is 200709280000 in which is was not working this morning, but is now.
thanks for investigating. When you find exact steps how to reproduce it, don't hesitate and fill them here. Please provide further info like, jdk version, screenshot etc. as well
Closing as worksforme now. If you can reproduce again, please reopen with more info.
Created attachment 104748 [details] Broken names in run configuration combo box.
I have reproduced this defect. It occurs when I connect over RDP to computer with running NetBeans. After restarting NetBeans, the names are correct. It occurs again when I log back into the computer directly. It may be caused (but it's not confirmed) by changing screen resolution on logging process. I run NetBeans 7.0 Beta on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, JDK 1.6.0_23 x64, connecting from several computers with Windows XP/7 via RDP 6.1. It occured also on older versions of NetBeans (6.x) and Windows OS.
Sounds like a bug in the Windows L&F to me, but hard to say.
