Description Fred Jan Kraan 2002-02-13 07:57:55 UTC 
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.netbeans.modules.form.FormDesigner.writeExternal(FormDesigner.jav
a:114)

(see attachments)

This UE prevents an normal exit as it pops up if you want to close the 
netbeans IDE. 

It all started when I tried to clone the text editor example to make an
extended version (named 'superTed').

Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2002-02-13 09:01:55 UTC 
Bug in form editor. However when fixed, pls. reassign to core/windows
as a robustness bug. Such an NPE should have been trapped by
InstanceDataObject.create at the latest and rethrown as an IOE.
Comment 4 Tomas Pavek 2002-02-13 15:19:10 UTC 
For me this is bug in window system - see issue 19855.
I've already implemented a workaround in form editor - see issue 
19839.

So I'm reassigning back to core as you want - although this is a 
duplicate for me (of issue 19839) and for core probably too (of issue 
19855)...
