If you edit a property in the Properties window, then hit enter, then Cmd-Z (Mac), the edit isn't undone. NetBeans just beeps. You have to click somewhere else first, and in so doing you lose the view of whatever property you were editing and trying to undo. You have to click back on the component and scroll down - very frustrating.
Reassigning.
The reporter, do you mean a property sheet, or any particular property? Thanks

Added screenshots of Properties window before, during, and after. With IDE in after state (property still highlighted) Cmd-Z doesn't work. This is also true for text properties, etc.
I can confirm that Undo doesn't work in Properties Window (it just disabled) but it works if you switch to editor Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200909210201) Java: 1.5.0_20; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_20-141 System: Mac OS X version 10.5.8 running on i386; MacRoman; en_US (nb)
I don't think there is any undo support in PropertySheet, PropertySheetView, etc. What it could be? The undo redo is associated with a top component and there is none. Moving to guibuilder guys as they very likely have the TopComponent under control and could implement undo redo, couldn't they?
We should finally get rid of using the global Properties window in GUI builder. It is a relic otherwise not used at all, GUI builder could instead have its own dedicated properties window that would do undo/redo in the selected form just like Inspector does. Another benefit would be that when clicking somewhere else, e.g. in Projects explorer, the properties window would not switch to different node and require refocusing on the GUI designer.
