Description Jesse Glick 2010-03-10 09:38:57 UTC 
In recent builds, but I think also for a short period a few months ago (?), and only sometimes - I am unable to edit commit messages after selecting Team > Commit. This happens with both Mercurial and Subversion.

1. The last-used commit message appears in the box rather than it starting empty.

2. I cannot enter any printing characters by typing; nothing happens.

3. I can, however, move the caret, delete characters, and even use Ctrl-V to paste.

The workaround is to prepare the desired commit message in an external editor, cut it from there, go back to the NB dialog, Ctrl-A Ctrl-V to replace the current text with the text from the clipboard.

When the bug arises, it persists for the whole duration of the IDE session. I am not sure how to reproduce it.

I should mention: latest JDK 6, Ubuntu, Gnome.
Comment 2 Ondrej Vrabec 2010-03-10 09:52:41 UTC 
Seems it applies to all text areas in IDE.
