This is an unfair characterization of the situation. No-one is expecting you to have to pitch in and resolve. At the same time, throwing statements like this out without at least engaging in answering questions and/or testing various dev builds that have stemmed from your previous thread and other discussions is not going to see issues fixed! Incidentally, there is still a good chance the copy & paste issue is a JDK bug, considering IntelliJ has similar reports - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-5980 What is certain is that the cause of this particular issue remains unknown. NetBeans is a community project, primarily driven by a small group of people giving their free time to ensure it survives and thrives. Personally, all emails like this do, is make me think it would be simpler to go and work on something else! > Is there a Windows QA group?

Weekly release candidates of NetBeans 20 will be available in a couple of weeks. Please test them as much as you can. Please report issues and try solutions when you can. Possibly the biggest contribution you can make to better Windows support, aside from fixing issues, is testing release candidates and feeding back.
