GUEST: I attempted to open the 'Find' dialog on my project. The dialog stretched across the screen and showed only some UI elements. When the search box was visible, many lines of code- I'm assuming from my clipboard- were jammed into the single-line box. The box appeared to expand to accomodate the long string, causing the dialog to expand to accomodate the box. This made the UI unusable, so I closed Netbeans.

GUEST: come back from sleep

GUEST: NetBeans freezes unexpectedly on OSX Mavericks, staying in that state until force the exit.
