Description Susan Morgan 2010-04-21 21:57:52 UTC 
This bug was originally marked as duplicate of bug 174161, that is already resolved. This bug is still valid, so this seems to be another bug, but it might be related.

Build: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201004210200)
VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, 14.2-b01, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment, 1.6.0_16-b01
OS: Windows 7

User Comments:
GUEST: Got cofused by an authentication prompt and hit cancel as I didn't know what it was for.  Turns out it was requesting authentication for the proxy server which has changed in my system settings.  Was trying to go into the options to enter the credentials, but that failed.

susanm: I selected Tools > Options

GUEST: Openning options

Comment 7 Theofanis Oikonomou 2012-04-06 16:35:42 UTC 
I am sorry but I cannot reproduce in NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20120404-19a1cb26d752). 

I tried opening options just after IDE started with clean userdir, while opening a big project, while scanning was happening. 

If it happens again please reopen with exact steps to repeat the exception.
