This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: 1. create a form with a button 2. go to java source of the form 3. run Tools|Internationalization|Internationalize to internationalize the button's text 4. go to the appropriate properties file and change a value of the button text 5. save all 6. select the button in form (e.g. in explorer) and invoke property editor of its Text property 7. there should be displayed Internationalization dialog 8. the Value area of this dialog contains old text 9. if a user press OK button a value of appropriate property will be changed to its old value
Confirmed (tested on PC+Linux), accepted. It should be relatively easy to fix this bug. There is a related problem that modification of a property in the properties file does not cause an immediate refresh of a text in the form editor - fix of this (rather minor) problem would be difficult and risky (regarding performance).
I just tried it in the last version and the behaviour is realy curious. It's true that the value isn't updated. But when I 1) opened the form and the bundle 2) changed the value in the bundle 3) -- switched to form : no change 4) closed the form, reopened the form -- very strange value appears. e.g. just the first letter, or the first length -1 letters, etc. Will investigate it more, but I'm not quite sure, it's a simple fix. It's more likely the code is a total mess ;)
The behaviour described in my previous comment is a different unrelated bug I filed separately as #54538.

Report from old NetBeans version. Due to code changes since it was reported likely not reproducible now. Feel free to reopen if happens in 8.0.2 or 8.1.
