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.
To reproduce: 1) Create a new web module 2) Open the deployment descriptor in the text editor 3) Move the cursor to the front of index.html (in the welcome file). Use the backspace button to move the index.html part so that it comes directly after <welcome-file> Everything of the index.html string except the "i" vanishes from view. I haven't been able to reproduce this with a web. xml where I have made changes.
Probably a XML Editor bug.
The bug is likely in editor module. It is probably depending on the issue 39557.
Fixed by 39557 fix.
