> Recently switched to NetBeans 12.6 from 11.3, and observed this annoying bug,
> which I have tried to track down a bit now. It occurs in 12.6, but not in
> 11.3 or 12.0.
> In NetBeans 12.6, the formatting settings for Java language under
> Tools->Options->Editor->Formatting do not work anymore. This bug can be
> observed due to several symptoms:
> 1) In the options menu, the "code preview" on the right side does not work
> anymore. As seen in the screenshots below, on the right side (NB 12.0, same
> in 11.3), one can see how the code would look. On the left side (NB 12.6) it
> is blank.
> !nb 12.6 options.png|width=273,height=224! !nb 12.0 options
> menu.png|width=254,height=224!
> 2) Furthermore, in NB 12.6, it is impossible to deselect the "Use All
> Languages Settings" check box. While I can remove the checkmark, when
> pressing "OK" or "Apply", the setting will not be saved, and the checkmark
> will return.
> 3) The indentation feature itself is a bit broken due to this. For example in
> an empty line, it is impossible to add a Tab. For example, in the screenshot
> below, I would like to indent the code inside of testClass. If I press Tab,
> nothing happens. Only if I add a space or another character, then I am able
> to add a Tab in front of it.
> !Screenshot_2021-12-28_12-31-43.png|width=501,height=234!
> 4) Indentation can be disabled for All Languages (though this is quite an
> important feature which I'd not like to disable completely!). However, if I
> try to re-enable it, it will not automatically apply the new settings for
> Java language. Only when I select "Java" as the language, disable "Use all
> languages setting" and reenable it, then the behaviour from All Languages
> will be applied.
