I'm not on Mac right now, but could you please try to uncheck "Maximize use of native look and feel" checkbox? Go to NetBeans->Options (or Preferences - not sure about Mac) ->Appearance -> Look and feel and uncheck the "Maximize use of native look and feel". You might need to restart IDE after this.

If it won't help, please attach IDE log (see [1]). Thank you

Hi Vladimir,
That does the trick. After deselecting the option I can select a folder. Thank you for your response. Now I remember that I selected the option some time ago. I did forget about it :-(.

Regards, Jeroen Venderbosch

I'm glad it works. I think could be a duplicate of issue 225525, but I'm not sure. Reassigning

The JDK bug in #225525 is fixed in JDK 8, please reopen if the problem is still reproducible while running with JDK 8, thanks.
