Created attachment 66389 [details] stacktrace
I am sorry, I am not able to reproduce this issue and the stack trace of the exception is not sufficient to track the problem down. Could you, please, provide more details? Are you still able to reproduce it? Does it happen for one form only or for all forms?
Response from the reporter: > I'm not able to change any property, because there will not pop up the window to change the property. > when I click on (...) nothing happens, I also tried right-click and properties but it happens nothing. > in all forms an with all swing elements is the same
I am not able to reproduce this issue, but I can implement a simple harmless workaround for the latest development builds. Unfortunately, this will not help you in your installation of NB 6.1. The only thing that I can suggest you is to try to start NetBeans with a new (clean/empty) userdir. See http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqWhatIsUserdir to find out what userdir is and http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqAlternateUserdir to learn how to change it.
Workaround implemented. Modified file: http://hg.netbeans.org/main?cmd=changeset;node=f14390065b83
