Description peterhull90 2016-07-25 15:42:24 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201607070002)
Operating System = Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_101
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.101-b13

Reproducibility: Haven't tried to reproduce it

STEPS:
  * Working on a small java project
  * Paused debugger and tried to do an edit and continue
 * Wasn't able to do this so stopped debugger and restarted
  * 'Classpath scanning in progress' message appeared and IDE seemed to be stuck in this state
 * Cancelled this and was not able to select the Debug Project button again (greyed out/unavailable)
 * But I could start the debugger by F7 step into

ACTUAL:
  Button is greyed out

EXPECTED:
  Button should be available for debugging

REPRODUCIBLE:
 Only happened once

I have tried and have not been able to reproduce this. 

Since the debug button becomes unavailable when you select an editor for a  file that's not in any project I suspect I might have done this inadvertently.

I think this report can be closed.

Yes, the Debug Project action is context-sensitive, therefore if the current file does not belong to a project, it's disabled.
