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.
On Mac OS X, when asking NetBeans to maximize the use of native look and feel (Preferences Windows > Miscellaneous > Windows), NetBeans projects are no longer recognized when navigating in the "Open Projects..." file selection dialog windows. This means that it is no longer possible to open projects from that dialog, making this option (maximize the use of native look and feel) useless and even harmful (as it took me a while to correlate this change in Preferences with the impossibility to open projects). Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201302132200) Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.8.3 running on x86_64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_45 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.45-b01-451
