stenlee,

this issue has been fixed in subsequent release *after* NetBeans 6.1 was released. You can certainly reproduce it in
NetBeans 6.1 even with the latest patch installed, but it's not a reason to reopen this issue if there's no plan to port
the fix into NetBeans 6.1 fixes codeline.
If you insist on fixing this issue for NetBeans 6.1 you have got basically two options:

#1 consider buying commercial support and request this issue to be fixed for NetBeans 6.1. More information about
commercial support can be found at http://www.netbeans.org/kb/support.html 

#2 the CDDL + GPL v2 dual licensing allows you to fork the "development" and fix it yourself in your private repository
and build. It's opensource, no one will do any obstacles if you choose this way, but take into account that maintenance
of private repository and build could eventually (in long term project) be a bit more expensive than buying commercial
support (calculations have to be done case by case)

Returning back to RESOLVED-FIXED state.
