Description SirIntellegence 2016-01-14 18:40:42 UTC 
(Note: bug severity rated from the view of a blind user.)
The property accessibilityHelp (view from Accessibility Inspector)for all Editor windows is:
   Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for Editor for 
(ad infinitum) and the accessibilityTile is "Editor for null". It is annoying to hear VoiceOver read what the window is for ("Editor for Editor for...") and would make it nigh impossible for a blind user to use Netbeans.

Hi, can you please attach messages.log http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqLogMessagesFile ? Is this happening always, or it happened just once? I checked in linux and also mac os for this. There is for each editor window Editor for filepath, maybe it happend on corrupted file or something like that.
