Description dranorter 2006-12-23 03:22:24 UTC 
I'm new to NetBeans and programming in general.

NetBeans has always run very slow on my computer (macbook with the dual Intel processors). The error 
occurred after I had been using the Project Matisse features (drag and drop GUI stuff) to edit a file I 
have previously had no problems saving. I added a new tab and about twenty jToggleButton s to the 
GUI. Now whenever I try to save the StackOverflowException symbol appears in the corner of NetBeans. 
Once it appeared, then flashed for a couple of seconds, then disappeared. I am assuming the file does 
not get saved because the * does not disappear from its name. I tried closing all the other files I had 
opened and it did not help. Other files were able to save.

The error:

A java.lang.StackOverflowError exception has occurred.

The first exception indicates you've managed to drag a component (container) 
into itself. That should not be normally possible, but maybe it could happen 
due to bug 80676 (present in 5.5, fixed in 6.0 dev). In such case it should be 
really exceptional and you likely won't see it again (it might have happened 
when you clicked and dragged the mouse a bit at the same time unintentionally). 
I think it's this case because otherwise we'd have many reports like yours. Did 
it happen to you more than once? Are you able to reproduce the problem?

To be sure you can install the 5.5 update as described on 
http://form.netbeans.org/updates/update55.html (where 80676 is fixed).
If the problem persists, please let us know.
