I'm using NB 14 and I've tried running the IDE on JDK 11 and 18, both from
Adoptium, on Win 10.
I've found that very often the IDE will freeze if in the Swing Navigator, I
select a component eg.a JPanel, then right-click on it and move the mouse over
to the popup menu. Usually happens when I hover over a selection that has a
secondary menu such as Set Layout. The secondary menu will open and then the
IDE freezes. I'm then forced to kill NB from the Win Task Manager and restart.
Tends to not happen during the first few such actions but after several such
actions it will eventually freeze (within 5 -10 minutes of having restarted the
IDE)
My 2 questions: 1) Is this a known issue? I've had to kill/restart the IDE
around 20 times today. If not a known issue then I'll try to create a small
demo case for it. 2) Is there any way I can avoid the component Navigator's
popup for Set Layout->Free Design/Border Layout such as a keyboard shortcut? I
don't see this setting in the Properties window.
Thanks!
