Description vince_stewart 2014-12-19 02:13:11 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.0.1 (Build 201408251540)
Java: 1.8.0_11; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.11-b03
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_11-b12
System: Linux version 3.13.0-43-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_NZ (nb)

Hi, a small problem has emerged with the advent of "default" methods in Java
8.

when doing line-by-line debugging, if you step into some "default" method
code, you lose the ability to display the value of a variable by hovering
the cursor over the variable name. The same applies to an expression
deliniated by a text selection. No error is displayed.

The various contextual values are maintained and viewable in the variables
window.

This evaluate-by-hover functionality returns to normal when you step out of
the "default" method back into a method that is not another "default"
method.

Verified. I only didn't get what you meant by "expression deliniated by a text selection" so if you could verify this buggy behavior yourself I would appreciate it. Thanks for this good catch Vince!

Response  to Jiri Kovalsky Comment 3.

Hi Jiri,

for "expression deliniated by a text selection", I apologise for the spelling error - should have been "expression delineated by a text selection".

I'll provide an example with a single a line of imaginary code:

String str=this.deriveStringFromTwoObjects(object1,this.getAnotherObject());

Lets say you select (using mouse or arrow keys with shift) the text "this.deriveStringFromTwoObjects(object1,this.getAnotherObject())".

With the text selected, if you hover the cursor over that selected text, Netbeans will normally display the result (including error throws) in a "hint" format.

I have observed normal functionality for Build 201507200001. Many thanks to all.
Comment 5 Jiri Kovalsky 2015-07-22 06:31:59 UTC 
Thank you Vince for both explanation and confirmation that everything is back to normal.
