creator updated NETBEANS-1850:
------------------------------
Description:
*The issue*
This issue concerns macOS only.
The option key (also known as ⌥ or the alt-key) is no longer recognised by
Netbeans after using the option (⌥ / alt) key on the right-hand side. Using the
left-hand side on its own works without any problems.
The option-keys are still available to open an additional bracket. However, any
additional functionality is lost.
After re-opening Netbeans, the program does recognise the option keys again.
This, however, only stays until the right-hand option key is pressed again.
*Steps to reproduce the issue*
Make sure you are using Netbeans later than 8.2 on macOS.
# Open any project. Note the *left* option-key is working, e.g. by navigating
your code by pressing the *left* option key and the left and right arrow keys
at the same time.
** This can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings (Preferences, Keymap)
and clicking on "Search in shortcuts".
** After pressing the *left* option key in this field, the symbol of the key
is displayed as such.
** This shows the *left* option key is perfectly recognised by Netbeans.
# Press the *right-hand* option key once.
# Try using any of the option (alt)-keys again in Netbeans. *You will notice
both option keys have no effect*.
** This can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings (Preferences, Keymap)
and clicking on "in shortcuts".
** When pressing any of the option keys in this field, the field stays blank.
** This shows the option key is *no longer recognised by Netbeans*.
# Re-open netbeans. Then, try to use the *left* alt-key and note that it works
again.
*About the issue*
The issue started appearing in Netbeans 9 and is still present in Netbeans 10
and 11. It is not present in Netbeans 8.2.
