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.
perhaps this bugette is too ironic to be fixed, but here goes. if you declare, eg, a method local variable whose name clashes with, eg, a static class variable, netbeans 6.7.1 helpfully puts its warning triangle in the left margin. hover over the triangle and you get the popup "Local variable hides a field". so far, so good. left-click on the triangle and you get the popup option "Rename the local varible". not quite as good as a "Correct speling" popup, but in the same league.
This was already fixed in 6.8 thanks for your report anyway
