I have seen an issue where NetBeans does not have the main class selected but not what is being described here.
While it's on my mind, since I generally focus on debugging during NetCAT time, I don't know/recall if this "issue/behavior" covered in the tests for the IDE. I have always been impressed with how extensive the tests (and associated instructions) are so I would not be surprised if the answer is yes.
