Ok, so the problem exists in netbeans 6.5.1 on OpenBSD just like in

OpenBSD's netbeans 5.5 port. The next question would be, is it present

on other OSes as well? For  shits and giggles, I've just installed

netbeans 6.5 on Ubuntu. I've never used netbeans and I'm not a

programmer, but if you told me a series of tubes^W steps that

reproduces this issue under OpenBSD, then I could try the same steps

and see if I can reproduce on Ubuntu 9.04, i.e. if it's in any way

OpenBSD's "fault" or it netbeans is just fucked somehow.
