While debugging a sample Ensemble application (from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/samples/) the whole desktop freezes when hitting a breakpoint at ensemble.controls.SearchBox:245. To reproduce: start the app, type something in a search box at the top, and choose any result. Looks like JavaFX variant of http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6714678.
Could you please specify NetBeans and JDK version? Debugging works for me in dev builds, I am able to set and hit the breakpoint on mentioned place and continue as well. Thanks. Please note when testing on dev builds: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236120.
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.3.1 (Build 201306052037) Java: 1.7.0_40; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.0-b56 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_40-b43 Ubuntu 13.04, Unity desktop.
Same problem in 7.4 RC1. Please note that the issue is (most probably) specific to X Window.
On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I was able to partially reproduce the issue: I hit the breakpoint at ensemble.controls.SearchBox:245, search popup has remained focused on the top, over IDE window. I couldn't use buttons to control the debugger, but still it was possible to use keyboard alternatives (F5, F7, F8, ...). Tested configuration: Java: 1.7.0_40; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.0-b56 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_40-b43 System: Linux version 3.5.0-40-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb) This does not seem to NetBeans issue, but JDK/JavaFX. I am reassigning to debugger for evaluation and/or confirmation whether it is NB issue or not. If the problem is outside our scope, please reassign/close. Thanks.
It's definitely a JavaFX issue - I just thought coming from NB team will give the issue more credibility. I've filed https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-33222.
