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.
the editor shows nothing when I press ^ followed by an space. I think it should show the character "^". I'm using linux and the ruby bundle.
Ok, you will have to tell us more. For the start please attach your Netbeans' log file. It is located in Netbeans userdir, eg. <userdir>/var/log/messages.log. What keyboard layout are you using? What happens when you type the same in some other application? Please try it in java Notepad (eg. run 'java -jar $JAVA_HOME/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar) and also in some native application. Does typing ^ followed by some other character produces the expected output? Thanks
As I did not manage to reproduce this issue and there is no feedback from the reporter, I will now close this issue as WORKSFORME. Please feel free to reopen the issue if it still persists, providing detailed steps to reproduce and message log.
