Geertjan Wielenga commented on NETBEANS-2631:
---------------------------------------------
Possibly there's a clash between some keyboard shortcut in NetBeans and a
keyboard shortcut related to that mintty.exe program. Anyway, recommend that
you start by uninstalling that and seeing if that solves the problem, at least
the problem should then be different.
> File Open blocked by Windows message: Windows is searching for mintty.exe

> Key: NETBEANS-2631
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2631
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 11.0
> Reporter: Bernard
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: messages.log, messages.log
>
>
> I installed:
> Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 11.0 (Build
> incubator-netbeans-release-404-on-20190319)
> Java: 11.0.2; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 11.0.2+9-LTS
> Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 11.0.2+9-LTS
> System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_NZ (nb)
> On installation, I let the IDE import settings from a 8.2 version.
> How I reproduce it:
> Menu|File|Open File
> And here it starts with multiple Windows dialogs:
> "Windows: Windows is searching for mintty.exe. To locate the file yourself,
> browse."
> After a while I get another Windows dialog:
> "The item mintty.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved,
> so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
> Nearest match, based on size, date and type C:\Program
> Giles\Git\usr\bin\mintty.exe
> Do you want to fix this shortcut to point to this target or do you just want
> to delete it?"
> I let it ix it.
> This sequence repeats 3 times until I eventually get the file selection
> dialog which lets me open a file.
> But it never gets fixed. Every time I use Menu|File|Open File, the sequence
> repeats, meaning I need about 10 minutes to open a file. Unfortunately I
> cannot continue using NetBeans 11 because of this bug, and I am back to 8.2
> once again. See NETBEANS-1824.
