Created attachment 160073 [details] IDE message log NB 8.1 has been very stable for me. But today, when I tried to open Tools->Options, nothing happened. Figuring that maybe NB got into a confused state, I restarted the IDE and tried again. This time the IDE noticed a problem (NullPointerException) and offered to report the problem. I tried to - but the bug reporting screen's "Send" button never came out of the disabled state, even after I entered my NB user id and password....even when I checked "Submit as guest" :-( I performed my usual first "fix" - leave the IDE, wipe out the cache - and restart. That did the trick again :-} I'm attaching the messages.log file. It's got my environment and the exception.
