Description simon_orange 2010-05-17 11:32:43 UTC 
The Projects window (ctrl +1) can have a long list of files in it, if the list of files is larger than can be displayed, some are off the bottom of the screen, and there is no scroll bar. This makes it impossible to get to the look at some files in the Projects window.
I can still open/find file (a java file in my case) using the ctrl O search. The Project still refuses to let me see the files directory/package, if I now click ctrl+shift+1.


This bug only happens in certain circumstances:
There is no problem, and all is fine, working directly on my PC.
BUT if I use LogMeIn to remote desktop, to use netbeans, then this bug is reproducible every time.

On my work machine (which I'm logging in to) I'm using

Java: 1.6.0_16; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 14.2-b01
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_GB (nb)

My home machine (which I'm logging in from) is

Comment 4 Stanislav Aubrecht 2011-02-24 10:40:16 UTC 
thanks for the extra info
can you please try swingset demo application (in your jdk folder) through the remote desktop to see if a regular jtree has the same problem? thanks

Hi 
I have tried the swingset demo applet in jdk1.6.0_16\demo
using the LogMeIn remote desktop and all works fine.

I was using netbeans via logmein this morning - all seemed fine
+ there was not a scrolling problem.

But later in the day, the problem was back again.
I can't scroll the Project window, (although I can in the File + Navigator NetBeans windows of the same height)

It seems intermittent. I have not seen the Swingset demo fail.

I have seen the scrollability be OK in 1 project, but fail in the next project. This was in the same instance of Netbeans, no restart of netbeans.
Comment 6 Stanislav Aubrecht 2011-10-25 10:15:09 UTC 
please reopen if still reproducible in recent builds using the latest JDK, thanks
