Minimize floating windows in NetBeans 7.2 - netbeans

I recently upgraded to NetBeans 7.2 and am facing a substantial usability issue with floating windows. In 7.1 each floating window was minimize-able, which I used quite regularly. By all appearances the minimize button is completely gone. The button is missing and when I right click on the title bar, the close button is available but the minimize is disabled (greyed out).
I'm running windows 7 x64.
I also encountered the issue in the RC but figured that it would be resolve in the final version. I've googled around and not been able to find anyone with the same issue so I'm hoping that it is just me.
I checked out the settings under Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Windows and none of them seem to make any difference.
How can I get the minimize floating windows functionality back?

It looks like a bug on the windows version, because I'm using the mac one and the minimize buttons are in place.
I'd go back to the previous version until they solve the bug.
In fact, at least in mac, you can have both versions installed, so you could open 7.2 from time to time and check for any updates that solved the problem.
I've found some additional info here:
https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216019
Maybe you could try to do as they tell:
No minimize button means those windows are docked into editor docking spot. Use
menu Window - Reset Windows.

And sorry I wanted to add this as a comment, but apparently I couldn't

Unity Editor does not fully render UI and is unresponsive on Windows 10

The editor window does not fully render and is unresponsive... I restored windows by completely reinstalling it, fresh install, all clean... and still same issue:
I checked Unity 2017.3, 2017.2 and 5.6, with DX9, 11 and 12... allways same issue.
I found 0 related issues on google, maybe I'm not using the correct wording for the search (Unresponsive Unity Editor Windows). On the Unity forums someone mentioned DX version being the issue, but I already forced all recent versions and it fails for all of them.
Ok, so the issue is with Unity not being dpi aware so I had to remove my 150% scaling on my main 4K window in order for it to work.
Unity programmers my encounter this issue too, and come here for help as I did... I don't see why that's wrong #Programmer

Eclipse with old Sun USB Keyboard

I'm forced to work with Eclipse (3.6) now, and i would like to re-use my favorite Sun keyboard with the left function block for cut/copy/paste/undo/find/etc (can't code without it ..).
So far i got it working with about every IDE/Editor i used, but NOT with eclipse. The keybinding manager simply ignores these keys.
Any hints? Has anybody got it working? I thought it might be related to Java, but i have other Java tools that work (freemind, for example).
Thanks,
Felix.
Ok, i found a workaround by installing "autokey" and defining some rules that send -C/V/X/Y/Z to the eclipse window.
But i'm still curious why Eclipse ignores these keycodes/keysyms, especially since autokey needs to be started now (and sometimes crashes).

IE11 F12 Developer Tools on Windows 7 functionality missing/not working?

I was using IE10 on Windows 7 but it is such a buggy piece of you-know-what (hanging, crashing, etc.) that I gave up and installed IE11. It has not hung or crashed since installing. But I hate the F12 developer tools! Okay, not completely - there are some very cool new features. What I don't like is that they seem to have dropped several features that I really liked! Unless I'm just missing something... I've searched and searched on Google and Microsoft but all of the help I've found only describes the new features. Here is what I'm missing: Color picker, Ruler, and most of all, the Clear browser cache for this domain. They allege to have a Clear browser cache function, but it doesn't work! So when I make changes to my website, in particular changing graphics, the only way I can see the change is to delete all my temporary files from IE. Then I lose all of my cookies e.g. for automatically logging in to Stack Overflow! IE version 11.0.9600.16428 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
The color picker is still available, go to the DOM Explorer tab and there is an eye dropper on the tool bar at the top towards the left. That activates the color picker.
For the issue of serving cached files try toggling on "Always refresh from server" on the network tool (3rd option from the left). This should get you the latest changes from your server.

How to avoid Eclipse blocking keyboard shortcuts

I installed a plugin that allowed me to create UML diagram from my code. Everything was working fine until I found that now all keyboard shortcuts (like CTRL-X, CTRL-Z, CTRL-SPACE, CTRL-SHIFT-F,..) except for CTRL-C and CTRL-V now require a click on a small square that appear on the bottom right corner. And this is required every single time.
This are few examples of the square that appears:
If I click on the message or press Enter I can access the functionality. Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying thing or at least reset Eclipse related configurations?
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I obviously tried uninstalling the plugin but nothing changed.
Try Window / Reset Perspective as the duplicate shortcuts may be still in the perspective.
Also try restart specifying -clean option to rebuild the workspace metadata.
The pop-ups you are seeing are the "keybinding conflict" popups. These are common when you have two different plugins defining the same keybinding and looks like these. Still in your case there's only one option to choose from and it definitely looks like a bug.
In the Eclipse bugtracker database there are two issues that are looking like the one you have: #377048 and #374942.
These issues are marked as fixed in 4.2-I20120410-0633. So if you are having Eclipse 4.2 without any service releases installed, you would probably have this. The solution is - to use a newer Eclipse version. Eclipse 4.3.1 is available to download since today, and it should contain a lot of other fixes since 4.2. So I encourage you to install it.
The other solution could be to try playing with keybinding dialog (Window->Preferences->General->Keys) and trying to unbind and re-bind the commands that you are having issues with.

MATLAB r2013a on Mac OS 10.8.3 crashes when viewing documentation

(Running MATLAB 8.1.0.604 (R2013a), Mac OS 10.8.3)
When I use the doc command, for example, doc fwrite;, or when I click the "more help" item in the popup help bubble for a command, the documentation window opens, but MATLAB subsequently hangs (the spinning beachball appears). This lasts indefinitely, and I inevitably have to force quit MATLAB. This also happens when using the Publish option from the editor.
Anyone have any ideas for diagnosing this? I tried taking a process sample but I didn't see any info I could interpret, I think since it's in Java the relevant information is obfuscated behind the JVM.
See this post on MatlabCentral: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/71718 ... and more specifically this bug report which includes a "workaround." They don't suggest what could be the cause, but you might make sure that OS X is updated and that you have the latest version of Java. If you do other work with Java or with WebKit these might cause issues.
I hope you have already solved the problem. Otherwise a solution has been found, the bug resides in the Access for Assistive devices (only for version 2012b and later). If you can turn them all off from System Preferences, do that. If you can't, type this in the command window:
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HtmlComponentFactory.setBrowserProperty('JxBrowser.BrowserType','Mozilla15');
From http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/870843
I had the same problem with Matlab R2014a on OS 10.10.4. For me the solution involved disabling Cinch (a window management tool I had installed). This can be done by clicking on the Cinch icon in the menu bar then Disable Cinch, or from System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Accessibility (as MarcoB detailed in his answer).
More suitable as comments (but I don't have enough rep yet):
I just updated to Java 1.8.0_73 and to Safari 9.1 and the patch horchler posted no longer works.
MarcoB's command still works for fixing the crashes. But with this, no longer retina resolution in the Doc browser (so it looks ugly).
