Build: Seen in 6.1 beta 1 and each of the subsequent nightly builds I have tried, up to and including 200803221203. Description: Frequently while editing code (both Java and C/C++ files), Ctrl-Z to "Undo" and Ctrl-Y to "Redo" stops working. Other Ctrl-<key> combinations seem to continue functioning correctly (such as: Ctrl-S to Save, Ctrl-A to Select All, Ctrl-C to Copy, etc.) Also, selecting "Edit->Undo" and "Edit->Redo" from the main menu also continues to work even though Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y do NOT. Summarized Observations/Notes: 1) When Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y stops working varies... Sometimes they stop working after a couple of minutes after launching Netbeans 6.1b1 (+nightlies), sometimes after a while, and occassionaly (rarely) they continue to work the entire time Netbeans is running. 2) When Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y stops working, the Edit menu items Undo and Redo are still in their "Enabled" state and continue to function as normally (when selected from the menu). 3) Other Ctrl-<key> bindings appear to work fine. 4) I leave the default key bindings as Netbeans has them set up on install. (ie: I have never manually changed keybindings). 5) I have noticed this problem with Netbeans 6.1 beta 1 and every nightly I have tried since 6.1 beta 1 became available. I am currently on 200803221203. Expected Behavior: Ctrl-Z should "Undo" and Ctrl-Y should "Redo" edit changes.
