Bug#808860: netbeans: Periodic freezing with GTK+ look-and-feel

[David McMackins]

Package: netbeans
Version: 8.0.2+dfsg1-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Using the GTK+ look-and-feel setting, Netbeans will occasionally freeze
beyond usability. With virtualvm, I have determined it to not be a
memory leak, but I'm not exactly sure of the root cause.

After changing the preferred LAF to Metal, my issue went away.
