Netbeans 7.2 problem with menus when using mouse

[cyb3r_sn4k3]

I'm using Mint 13 (cinnamon)and when netbeans 7.2 (Installed from source from website) is maximized or enlarged by dragging. The top menus (file, edit etc) do not work properly with mouse as in they do not stay open on mouse click. But works fine with keyboard. Its also works if the windows is not enlarged or not maximized.

I found a bug report but don't know how to apply the patch.

Please help.

This is a "diff" patch, so you need to use the "patch" utility.

You should always backup the source before you attempt to apply a patch file. There are no guarantees that it will apply properly the first time. You may have to adjust the patch level ("-p" parameter in order to get the files in the right folders), depending on where you are in the source tree when you attempt to apply the patch.


Assuming you have the source code for NetBeans to apply the patch to, try:

patch -p0 < patch filename

when in the top of the source directory.

If you get stuck, let me know, and I'll try to help you get the patch applied properly.

Thanks. But heres the problem.
the .diff file contains

From the file i figured that i should patch
/core.windows/src/org/netbeans/core/windows/view/ui/MainWindow.java But no file exists like that. The closest directory i found was
/home/athul/.netbeans/7.2/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/core/windows

If you can point me in the right direction to get the source tree for the exact version of NetBeans that you want to use, and the patch - I'll try to patch it for you, then modify the patch if needs be and post it here for you. It might take me a day or two with my schedule.
