    Description

      When running as a normal user, if you click on Netbeans->Preferences the window will open, shake, freeze and not let you do anything. The same thing happens with the Tools->Plugins. Running as super user it works perfectly. Could it be trying to pop up an authentication window that never shows up? See my answer at Stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61904617/access-to-root-application-support-macos-java/61994057#61994057 if that's the case.
