This is what happens to me: 

1. Uncheck "Comparing Strings useing == or != hint" and then check it again.
2. Click Apply and then click OK.
3. Open options again and the Apply button is now always enabled.
4. Change tabs and close Options dialog with OK or Cancel button.

I open Options dialog, the Apply button is still enabled. 

I can get the Apply button to stop this behavior if I click it on another tab or panel, but sometimes this will cause other problems that lead to Fonts & Options panel going blank and/or the Language field in the On Save, Code Completion or Formatting Panels being blank. 

Restarting NetBeans may be required to line it back out.

This occurs on some setting and not the others. The problem is if the label is click on, the Apply button gets enabled.

"Compare Strings using == or !=" happens to be one of the nodes that does this and if you close the dialog box with it highlighted in blue and you reopen it, the fact the line is higlighted in blue, causes the Apply button to be enabled.

If you click on a label that doesn't do that (like Redundant Conditional Statement below it)  and then close and reopen the dialog box, the Apply button stays disabled.

Now the button will be deactivated if you click OK and open the panel again, but checking/unchecking several options around "Comparing Strings useing == or != hint" may cause the apply button to reactivate after you press it.

Still valid in:

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
