Description asenk 2011-10-26 14:36:06 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201110250600)
Java: 1.7.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 21.1-b02
System: Linux version 3.0.0-12-generic-pae running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
User directory: /home/tester/.netbeans/dev
Cache directory: /home/tester/.netbeans/dev/var/cache

Setup: Start IDE with clear userdir. Create new project, Java Application (e.g. MyApplication) and create a new form (e.g JFrame) and place there jButton component 

1. select jButton in design and click on property of Insets type (default
   value="[2,14,2,14]")
2. type in created textfield "10,20,30,40"
3. press Enter 

RESULT: It is impossible to change this property directly. You must use [...] button and editor, to change this property.

I am sorry, I am not able to reproduce this issue.

What do you mean that? What happens exactly when you press Enter?

I tried to modify 'margin' property of JButton by entering 10,20,30,40 and this value was accepted correctly.

There is an "insets" property separate from margin. The values are gray and not editable. I cannot edit it if I press the [...] button either. 

For me the default value is 4,16,4,16. 

The Test Suite specifies to change insets value to test if it works.

The margin property is editable.

'insets' property is read-only. I believe that asenk was refering to 'margin' property because you cannot perform steps 2 and 3 for 'insets' property.
Comment 4 asenk 2011-10-31 12:47:19 UTC 
Ok, jstola is right. this is Invalid bug.
I was little bit confused, because it is possible to:
-click on [...] button next insets property 
-in invoked editor it is possible to edit insets 

In editor window is missing OK button (there is only Cancel) so the insets values cannot be modified in the end. I hope that is it clear, where I see problem...
