Dr Bryan J Higgs commented on NETBEANS-5037:
--------------------------------------------

I realize that some of you may be arguing that this is a user problem, perhaps 
with permissions in some macOS user accounts, but not in others. But it clearly 
is impacting a number of users, and is definitely not a good reflection on 
NetBeans.

By comparison, I also have Eclipse installed on the same system, and have been 
using it productively ever since I found that NetBeans was behaving badly. They 
seem to have no problems (at least that I have become aware of).

So I urge you to take this seriously, and try to figure out how to avoid these 
kinds of problems. Some of us would much prefer to be getting work done in Java 
than trying to learn the arcane corners of macOS, or Terminal commands just to 
get around these kinds of problems.

I'm hoping that you take the above in the supportive spirit in which it's 
intended. (And, yes, I've been in Software Engineering positions myself, so I 
know the kinds of things that occur in those environments.)

>             Project: NetBeans
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: editor - Search, editor - Settings, platform - Plugin 
> Manager
>    Affects Versions: 8.2, 12.0, 11.1, 11.3, 12.1, 12.2
>         Environment: macOS 11.0.2
>            Reporter: Donatello Santoro
>            Priority: Major
>         Attachments: netbeans.conf, settings.png

> In macOS Big Sur some NetBeans panels (settings and find in project) are 
> broken:
>  * they are shown in full screen, as tab, please see screenshot 
>  * when they are shown, NB completely hangs, with high CPU usage.
> I tried almost every version of NetBeans (from 8.2 to 12.2rc) with every JDK 
> (1.8, 11, 13, 15), with the same behavior.
> The only way I have to solve the issue is to run NB as sudo
> {code:java}
> sudo /Applications/NetBeans/Apache\ NetBeans\ 12.1.app/Contents/MacOS/netbeans
> {code}
> Of course this is a permission related issue, but it appears only on 
> NetBeans. Other Java apps seems not affected. On command line there are no 
> evidence of the crash.
> Finally, in our office we are 4 with the same MacBook, and same macOS (just 
> upgraded from Catalina to Big Sur). 2 out of 4 have this issue. The other 2 
> can run NB without the sudo command.
