Screen Shot of IDE

I have a C++ project where I cannot set the project properties.

The project is a remote development project (Linux based from Windows 8.1).
The project is under Git control.

When I right click on the project Icon, nothing happens; no pop-up or drop-down box of any kind. The project icon appears to have a ? mark in it.

When I first created the project, I could right click the project icon and set properties, or do a "code assistance - reparse project". This no longer works.

To attempt to fix, I deleted all the cache folders on Windows, deleted the nbproject folder from the project, and deleted the dlight_root folder on Linux.

Nothing seems to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

I went into "tools" "options" and went through most of the tabs looking for any setting that might possibly affect this problem. When I exited the option, the problem was fixed, even though I did not change any settings.
