Sometimes CTRL+F in Java editor stops working: the search bar remains, but does not gain focus and even changing the content of the search field and type enter does not work anymore. Next time it occurs, I'll check the logs for possible errors. I've also noticed this in former DEV versions, but I thought it was fixed.
This happens for me as well. Usually after logging into the system with a remote desktop connection. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.1 (Build 201112071828) Java: 1.7.0; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 21.0-b17 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_US (nb) To work around the problem I have to restart NetBeans.
Hopefully we will find step to reproduce bug in bug #202740 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 202740 ***
