Description esmithbss 2010-11-23 16:41:13 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201011230001)
Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_20
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 16.3-b01

I have a Java file which uses the Vector class.  Due to recent changes, there is now an "Obsolete Collection" message that is applicable to this import.

When I hover over the Vector import and press <alt><Enter>, I receive a hint asking if I want to "Configure `Obsolete Collection` hint" which explodes to another hint which contains 3 items of which 1 is the same as the previous hint dialog ("Configure `Obsolete Collection` hint").  

The second hint dialog should never simply reuse the same text from the first hint.

To reproduce:

1) New Java File

2) Add an import for Vector.

3) When the hint is available, use <alt><Enter> to open it.

4) Follow the arrow to drill into the second hint.

Ideally, yes. But not very critical, IMO.
Comment 2 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 07:26:31 UTC 
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,
