Description terje7601 2015-02-24 10:28:40 UTC 
To reproduce:
* do New -> "Empty File..."
* give it a name like "test.txt" & click "Finish"
* at this point, the Hex Editor is opened. Moreover, it's opened twice.

Also note: closing the hex editors, then normally opening the file & attempting to save modifications, won't work due to bug 250327

It's also not possible to open the file by double-clicking or pressing enter (most likely the same issue as 245282).

In conclusion: the hex editor should (almost) never be the default when opening files in NetBeans.

PS: not sure if this is the correct component, but since bug 250327 was moved to this component as well, I filed it here
