This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
'Votes' used to be visible in a list of bugs, so user could sort bugs based on number of votes and see the number in the list - it is no more possible.
Workaround for now: Add an parameter `columnlist=all' to the buglist.cgi call.
Fix is in staging.
