NB5.0 (200510100858), JDK 1.5.0_05 Steps toreproduce: - run IDE - create project - create JFrame - add JButton - push "Change Variable Name ..." from contextual menu of the JButton node in Inspector - try to write anything to the textarea in opened "Rename" dialog -> It's impossible, the caret blinks, but I can't write to the textfield, I can just close it by mouse
It works correctly on my machine. Please, correct Platform and OS values. What L&F do you use? Does it happen every time?
Linux RH9 / Gnome 100% reproducible
The dialog is created by RenameAction and the same behaviour holds for New Watch action. So, it is probably common problem of dialogs displayed by DialogDisplayer (on the mentioned platform). Reassigning to openide for evaluation.
Marian, it is known jdk bug (6183877). The workaround is to press mouse button on JButton, move mouse cursor outside JButton and release mouse button.
Thanks Marek, so closing as wontfix, due to JDK bug 6183877. I'm not 100% sure but I think we can do nothing on netbeans side.
