Description NiceGuyIT 2015-01-15 17:54:55 UTC
I can reproduce this every time on many file formats (tried .php, .html, .css, .sql, .txt).
1. Hit Ctrl-Shift-Enter to show only the editor. This maximizes the current tab and hides everything except the menu and editor window.
2. Hit Alt-Shift-Enter to maximize the window. The result is a blank editor window with menus and the cursor bound to the search box. The only way I found to exit from this scenario is to close the window through the menu or Ctrl-W shortcut.

Note: The reverse Alt-Shift-Enter followed by Ctrl-Shift-Enter works as expected.

Here's my environment.
CentOS 7.0.1406
KDE 4.10.5
Netbeans 8.0.2
`uname -r` 3.10.0-123.13.2.el7.x86_64

Let me know if you need anything else.

Perhaps windowing system issue. FWIW, I am also using Linux (Kubuntu, with KDE desktop manager) and the mentioned shortcuts work fine for me -- CS-Enter and AS-enter will bring maximizes editor window to full screen mode.

Sometimes AS-Enter fails to maximize the window, just removes the decorations. It works correctly usually for the 2nd time.

Since it works for you, I did some research and found the culprit. The "Show full file path" option causes the problem on KDE and Gnome Classic (CentOS 7). Windows 7 works as expected.

I was able to reproduce this with a clean session (deleting all dot files in the home directory) and a default NetBeans install. This even happens with the Start Page.

To reproduce:
1. Create a new user.
2. Download and install NetBeans.
3. Check the "Show full file path" option (in Appearance -> Document)
4. With the Start Page showing, hit Ctrl-Shift-Enter and then Alt-Shift-Enter.
