This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
In modern software, particularly editors, it is expected and standard to have autosave and crash recovery features. Netbeans has neither. Netbeans has a tendency to lock up, requiring it to be forcibly killed. Since there is no autosave feature, it is common, therefore, to lose some work when that happens.
