Product Version = NetBeans IDE 6.9 (Build 201006101454)
Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_18
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 16.0-b13

When typing java code containing if...else..., the 'else' is indented close to the left margin and not under the 'if'. I think this is new in 6.9.

Example:
Type
public class Dummy {
	public Dummy() {
		if (true) {
			
		}
 		els^
	}
}
The caret is at ^. 
Type the final e of else and the word jumps to the left margin
public class Dummy {
	public Dummy() {
		if (true) {
			
		}
 else
 
	}
}
Complete the structure and choose Source|Format. The code is indented 'correctly'
public class Dummy {

	public Dummy() {
		if (true) {
		} else {
		}

	}
}

Reproducible always.
