[Linux]Can not edit "Additional Include Directories" on Project Properties dialog. 0. Create sample c/c++ project (e.g. Welcome) 1. Open Project Properties dialog box 2. Select C/C++|GNU C++ Compiler|General in the left side of dialog 3. Select "Additional Include Directories" on right side and press Ctrl+Space to open "Additonal Include Directories" dialog 4. Press "Add directory" button, select any dir and press "Select" New added dir appears in list 5. Press "Edit" button. 6. Attempt to edit the name of this directory fails. But if I press Cancel and press Edit button one more time then all is ok -- I can change the dir name.
This is actually a Swing problem rather than a bug in our code. It can happen with any dialog and has something to do with the dialog not getting focus. The work-around is to move the cursor outside of the NB frame, click the mouse, and then move it back over the dialog and click again. Then you should be able to type normally. I have seen this numerous times on Solaris but never on Windows(?).
