[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ] I am running Windows 2008 Server, and had the ide running. I then remotely accessed the server from another machine using remote desktop. I am then greeted with a dialog box explaining that there was an exception, and what did I want to do about it. I click on the review & report option. at this point, a dialog box is attempted to be drawn. I don't see the background, but I do see the outer frame that the OS supplies, and the text on the cancel button. I click the cancel button, and find that an identical window is drawn again, and so it goes, on and on, again and again. I eventually get tired of doing this, so I click the top right 'x' of the window frame of the ide window, and the entire app closes and disappears from my view. for your viewing and hopefully, debugging pleasure, I am attaching the messages.log file, renamed as 'endlessLoop.log'.
Created attachment 70860 [details] log file of endless looping of error dialogs
java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.XPStyle$Skin.getWidth(XPStyle.java:513) at com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.XPStyle$Skin.getWidth(XPStyle.java:517) at com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsIconFactory$VistaMenuItemCheckIconFactory.getIconWidth(WindowsIconFactory.java:668) at com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel$1.createValue(WindowsLookAndFeel.java:1768) What theme do you use in your Windows? Standard ones? I'm decreasing priority. It seems as jdk bug I don't think there is anything that we can do on netbeans side. Anyway, I'm leaving it for evaluation

I have the vista theme running when I use the machine interactively, and I suppose that the remote desktop access is modifying that theme somehow to accommodate the reduced bandwidth available. it's not something that I manually tweak, but I do notice some small differences visually. perhaps it's going from the 'enhanced' version that you see when you have a good graphics card to the 'basic' version for when you don't have so much graphical horsepower available.
