Description han.solo 2012-06-11 15:44:24 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201206110001)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.7.4 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_06-ea
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.2-b03
Comment 1 han.solo 2012-06-11 15:48:32 UTC 
For example if i download a plugin and want to select the folder where i saved it, i simply can't open the combobox that shows the folder tree. Another example is the Language combo box in the preferences->Fonts&Colors menu, here i can't select another language than All Languages. Interestingly the comboboxes in the IssueTracker that opens within NetBeans work...?

Looks like the key info :
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_06-ea

It is not reproducible with 7u4/7u5 I guess ?
Comment 3 han.solo 2012-06-12 06:48:48 UTC 
The following procedure seems to fix the problem:

- Installing NetBeans latest dev. build.
- Open the Java Platforms menu
  - Java 1.7.0_06 is selected as default Java Platform WITHOUT the JavaFX tab visible
  - Add a new Java Platform and select again 1.7.0_06 (now the JavaFX tab is visible)
  - Add the JavaFX 2.2 b11 folder and activate JavaFX

Now the comboboxes work as expected.

Additional comment: 
It would be great if the JavaFX tab would be visible directly and not only after re-added the same Java Framework again.
