I'm not sure.  I built my IDE some where around the
20th or 23rd of Dec, and I didn't notice any changes
in this regard, but I did start with a new clean
userdir.  Maybe something happened to your user
directory.  Sometimes with the dev and beta builds
you'll have to simply wipe out your:
Windows: %userprofile%\.netbeans\dev
Nix or MacX: $HOME/.netbeans/dev
directory because apparently the way NB serializes and
restores things has some issues in this regard and
changes a bit when builds are not really "stable" or
finalized as between Beta2 and Final.
