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.
Steps to reproduce: - Create new Properties file File nust be open in table view mode not in text mode. This was in last release.
It has been decided that the properties files will be opened in the text mode by default.
When ? Where ? Is there any specification, please ?
The main reason for this change was that the table view is suitable only for i18n related properties files, while with the new projects the user often needs to edit also generic properties files - where the table editor is inappropriate. The usage for non-i18n purposes needs actually more redesign - as tracked in ussue 42919, but we at least changed the default open action to text mode.
