A right click on records will show commands including the "Edit and Replay..." menu item. Replay implies the playing back of a record that has not changed. Note that grouping it with the Editing feature and term, helps a little but is not technically accurate. I recommend using the work Play where possible where editing is involved. That is, for the menu item, replace "Edit and Replay..." with "Edit and Play..." or "Edit and Send...". I was going to suggest "Edit and Playback...", but I think Playback may have the same connotation as Replay. Also, 'Play' gives the HTTP request some strength in referring to it as its own entity, even though it has derived state from an existing message. Note that the Replay button is present alone for replaying messages. I thought this was fine, but thinking about it further, wouldn't "Play New Request", "Send New Request", or just "Send" make more sense since a new HTTP Request is sent creating a new record. BTW, several times I almost canceled this issues as "Replay" and "Edit and Replay..." may be just fine as-is. That is, I could be wrong with this analysis. Thanks.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
