### Apache NetBeans version Apache NetBeans 27 ### What happened The Netbeans Javadoc Documentation window crashes showing partially output, causing visual artifacts across netbeans (including garbage areas that are not refreshed properly). When this occurs Netbeans reports a NullPointerException. This behavior continues until Netbeans is restarted. [messages.log](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/22391509/messages.log) - Error reported by Netbeans (NullPointerException) - When the error appears the following issues also occur - Javadoc window shows partial results - GUI get corrupted with window not refreshing properly showing older garbage images - Can also get many ≺classname≻_n.dump files where n is some number. The classname will correspond to the class containing the javadoc that crashes Netbean's Javadoc window. ### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component Java Ant project with existing sources. ### How to reproduce I have supplied a minimal Javadoc example that causes this issue. However I have found in general this occurs a lot with Netbeans when displaying Javadoc using Netbeans' built in viewer. This error occurs if the javadoc is for a class, member or package. This error occurs every time for the supplied example. [src.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/22391597/src.zip) Note: if 1) a closing ≺/pre≻ tag is added, 2) netbeans is restarted then the error goes away. If the text following the ≺pre≻ tag is removed the error also goes away. The text contains a combining diacritic. Note: if the Javadoc window is not displayed then the error is not generated. ### Did this work correctly in an earlier version? No / Don't know ### Operating System macOS 15.6 (M2 cpu) ### JDK JDK 24.0.2 ### Apache NetBeans packaging Third-party package ### Anything else The installer was downloaded from [Friends of Apache NetBeans](https://installers.friendsofapachenetbeans.org/) ### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
