Description attila.kelemen 2012-07-08 20:47:22 UTC 
Sometimes when using NetBeans to edit java code, the autocomplete list is not visible because the javadoc window hides (displayed on the top of it). When this bug triggers, the bug will remain until NetBeans is restarted. I cannot reliably reproduce this bug.

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.2 RC1 (Build 201206272359)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_05
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.1-b03

The above "IDE log" should be ignored because it was automatically generated by NetBeans and at that time the bug has not manifested itself.

Could you please capture a screenshot of the situation and attach it to the issue? Thanks.

Shows the visual artifact.

Trying to trigger the bug, it seems that the bug triggers after I change the line endings of a file using the "Show and change line endings" plugin (CRLF -> LF). That is, I was not able to trigger the bug, no matter how much I tried but after changing the line ending, it triggered immediately.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem in the current dev build. Please reopen the issue if you have exact steps to reproduce. Thanks.
Comment 6 attila.kelemen 2012-09-18 12:19:23 UTC 
I can reliably reproduce it on every computer I have tried, the way I mentioned earlier. The OS on these computers is Windows (XP, Vista, 7) with Hungarian locale. (I have only tried it with NB 7.2 so far).

So this is the way I can almost always (the timing matters, so it is not actually deterministic) reproduce:

1. Have the "Show and change line endings" installed.
2. Open a project containing a file with CRLF line endings.
3. Change the line endings in this file using the above mentioned plugin to LF.
4. Type something and before the auto complete displays the doc and the auto complete list automatically: Press ctrl + space twice in rapid succession to each other.
Comment 7 Dusan Balek 2012-09-21 14:44:15 UTC 
Seems like a bug in the "Show and change line endings" module. The following patch should fix the problem.

Proposed patch
Comment 9 Jan Lahoda 2013-03-26 12:41:13 UTC 
I uploaded a new version of the plugin to plugin portal, which should fix the problem (thanks to Dusan for the patch). 7.3 verification is pending - the "7.3" version should be usable in previous versions starting from NB 6.9 as well (untested).
