Hi Michael, thank you for that info. I have tried NB 15 RC1 and it
does indeed seem to have fixed the issue I had described.
thanks for confirming
Unfortunately, I noticed that it has changed alignments and sizes on
many of my form designs, especially outermost component sizes that now
render as different sizes when embedded in other components - seems
like previous anchoring of JPanels to borders has been lost. Some
dialogs are rendered differently too, e.g. a smaller size dialog if
some component is initially invisible (whereas previous dialog size
defaulted to fit all components, even if invisible - maybe it's me and
I need to figure out how to redraw/repack a dialog to enlarge after
user makes a choice that makes a component visible). I realize this is
only RC1 and I am greatly appreciative of what the NB dev team does,
but I am a bit nervous as to what my UI will look like after NB 14,
especially since I have been going through and adjusting all
formatting and colors to work optimally for FlatLAF per NB 14, but
can't really do that now because of the frequent IDE freezes so will
need to get off NB 14 asap, which may be just as well because of
potential new alignment issues, etc so far in FlatLaf of 15 RC1. I
guess I will just postpone my UI refresh until at least after NB 15 is
released. Oh well, such is the way of progress!
i just opened some random forms both in NB 14 and NB 15rc1 side by side
and couldn't see any difference. If you think there is a bug and you can
create a minimal reproducer, feel free to file an issue on github.
just a thought: you sure that things like "seems like previous anchoring
of JPanels to borders has been lost" aren't the fallout of freezing NB
14 while you edited things?
The FlatLaf settings of NB 15 were updated slightly. So it might look a
bit different in some edge cases, but it should behave the same.

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.
yes. It is fixed in NB 15. You can test the first release candidate if
you want which was released today.

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.
as workaround you could also use a different look&feel until NB 15 is
released.

Thanks!
