My NB 6.5 is acting up since fresh install.
"CTRL+/" usually comments and un-comments,
That does not work at all. Even pushing the buttons for thosw actions don't work.
Auto closing of brackets "{} an ()" don't work at all.
I use these simple features quite frequently
and it's quite tedious without them.

I hate jumping between 6.1 and 6.5.
6.1 For coding and 6.5 for debugging.
I would love to use 6.5 only, but why do these
simple things go wrong ?

Please is there anyone else that had these problems and found a way to
fix it. I'm losing it, I just want to Enjoy NB not loathe it .

I use Vista HP on a Toshiba Qosmio X300 Laptop. Crying or Very sad

Hello BlouAap,

i've come across the same problem (developing java)
i also noticed that when this happens, the 'fix imports' option is no longer available and the 'Navigate' options only show 'go to Test'.

I found a way to work around this (it's a pain but it works for me... try it and let me know if it works for you)

-close your project
-close netbeans
-start netbeans
-open your project

basically whenever i close/restart netbeans with my project open, i get this problem. I don't get the problem if i follow the steps above.

Hi,

this issue might be caused because some of your settings from the
previous version were not imported correctly.

What you can do:
- try to delete a userdir (folder ~/.netbeans/6.5 or C:\Documents and
Settings\username\.netbeans\6.5). Then start the IDE and do NOT import
previous settings. This should start NB with default settings.
- if the issue persists with a clean userdir, open a new issue
http://www.netbeans.org/community/issues.html and do not forget to
include your ~/.netbeans/6.5/var/log/messages.log file in the report

With regards,

Petr Dvorak

Hi,

this problem has similar symptoms as issues 155805 and 156111. The later
issue was fixed recently. Do you have mobility module enabled?

Regards
Jirka

Hello,

-this is a fresh NetBeans 6.5 install straight after a fresh OS install. There are was no previous NetBeans installation
-yes I am using J2ME (Sun 2.5.2 and Sprint 3.2.2)
-i disabled the welcome screen

I found out about the following 2 cases after some digging:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=156111
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=155805

I haven't tried re-enabling the welcome screen... for now i'm just making sure to close all source files before closing NetBeans.
is there a way to re-enable the welcome screen without loosing all the config ?

Thanks

Click Help then Start Page.
Enable Check Box "Show On Startup"

actually ... turns out that enabling the startup screen doesn't help.
I still need to make sure that all my j2me source files are closed before closing netbeans for the problem not to happen.

Thanks alot for this info, I also had the same problem with NetBeans 6.5 with J2ME applications.

Deleting my NetBeans home folder also resolved another issue:
for some reason NetBeans showed that it expects ColorSchema.paintBackground(<any>, boolean), instead of (graphics, boolean)
