Description aschwarz1309 2012-12-08 00:08:32 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.2.1 (Build 201210100934)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_03
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 22.1-b02

C++ cygwin gcc 4.5.3
         cygwin gdb 7.5.50.20120815-cvs (cygwin-special)

Sometimes I am unable to clear my output window:
1: Ctl-L seems to work most times
2: Using the pop-menu option "clear" seems to work seldom.

Clearing has been tried during a session (when the debugger is executing) and after the session is over (debugger no longer executing). I have better luck when the debugger is no longer executing.

Not serious since sooner or later I can clear the window, but annoying. I don't know what causes the problem and I haven't figured out a pattern which will always generate the issue.

Please, can you attach your IDE Log when you encounter the bug again?
Thank you.
Comment 2 Jaroslav Havlin 2012-12-12 10:25:00 UTC 
Do you mean clearing the tab with application output or with build info?
In the pop-up menu, is there shortcut Ctrl+L for the Clear action?
Thanks.
Comment 3 aschwarz1309 2012-12-12 16:07:21 UTC 
How do I get an IDE LOG. The Netbeans help file is unhelpful?

Bye-the-bye I noticed that CTL-L and popup->clear do not seem to work at all. What they do is to insert some blank lines into the output and go to the end of the output screen making it appear that the output window contents have been deleted.

It seems that this is an issue of CND/Terminalemulator. Reassigning.
Please evaluate, thanks.
