Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build cdev-2143-on-100309) Java: 1.6.0_17; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 14.3-b01-101 System: Mac OS X version 10.5.8 running on x86_64; MacRoman; en_US (nb) When I try to file issue via main menu Help|Report Issue... the Report a New Issue page appears. There should be inserted Product/OS/Java version in the issue description by default. But usually it is not there - it appears there only very rarely. Actually I don't know how to reproduce the case that the info appears there.
If the IDE is in state that the info is not pasted to the description then just invoke Plugin Manager (probably any other dialog). Then just go to Help|Report Issue... and the info is pasted to the reported issue description. Next attempt to report issue has again empty description by default:-(
Oh no, the previous comment is not true. There is some magic which seems to have no rules - it is something like 50/50 to reproduce the issue.
It seems to be some race condition. I have an idea where the problem can be.
Fixed, hopefully - I was able to reproduce this problem regularly before and I haven't seen it with the fix. Modified file: http://hg.netbeans.org/cdev/rev/6dcb57307566
