Description

### Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 16

### What happened

I worked with Netbeans 8.2 and it had the same error as Netbeans 16. When i want to only show the editor by pressing a combination of Ctrl+Shift+Enter and try to navigate through project files netbeans crashes by showing an empty dark screen which i have to escape by closing it. I repeat it happened to all netbeans in my experience. Would be happy if it is fixed. However this happens some times randomly not all the time.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash in Apache NetBeans 16 on JDK 17: open a project, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to show only the editor, and navigate through project files. Compare the behavior with NetBeans 12.6 or earlier and inspect the editor-window or project-file navigation path involved. Done means the editor view no longer becomes an empty dark screen or crashes.
