Description legitalk 2016-04-12 09:22:45 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201604070001)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_60
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.60-b23

Reproducibility: Happens every time

When I have caret at the end of line and I am in overwrite mode (INSERT was pressed), the whole line is flashing till the end of line.

Before it was flashing only one letter at current position (end of line)

reproducible
Comment 3 Miloslav Metelka 2016-06-22 14:23:55 UTC 
I already have the NewlineView and TabView code modified to support complex positions required for proper caret blinking in overwrite mode and the whole patch should be ready at the beginning of the next week.

It was a bit tricky to debug and fix all the problems but it should be ok now.

Mila, this change introduced two minor bugs (Bug #267235 and Bug #267234), since you introduced null value for getAttributes. Just please review this, I just added nullpointer checks to code.
