Description setdosa 2007-02-21 21:08:15 UTC 
Sometimes (its happened more than a couple of times now) when right click my
source package and select find. the find dialog opens up and resizes itself such
that only the title bar shows. when I click the maximize the title bar maximizes
but the content is empty. Close doesnt close it either. 

I can open another find dialog and keep working and move this dialog to the top
of the screen until I close netbeans. I dont see any exceptions in the
messages.log file either

Thanks for the report. The only exception I can see in the log file came from
the template wizard, which is probably unrelated to the problem. I am not sure
if we will be able to reproduce the problem or if there will be other reports
with more clues. In the meantime, have you considered upgrading to JDK6 (and
Netbeans 5.5)?
Comment 3 Jiri Prox 2007-02-22 08:26:01 UTC 
The logs are from 5.5 fcs
Comment 4 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-07-15 13:52:39 UTC 
Does anybody know where the 'Find in Projects' dialog is implemented? Thanks.
Comment 5 Marian Petras 2007-10-20 09:14:25 UTC 
Marking as fixed.

Reasons:
 - it seems to be caused rather by a JDK bug
   (no apparent reason for such strange behaviour from the NetBeans source code)
 - this bug was reported when running on an old JDK
 - it happened randomly
 - no similar problem report since then
 - the Find dialogue has been completely redesigned in the 6.0 release

Feel free to reopen this bug if you ever encounter it again (but be sure to use a more recent JDK/JRE).
