Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 28
### What happened
Recovering from sleep destroys functionality in some editor windows, this is happening in latest Windows 11 pro. Never happened in windows 10 (NetBeans 27), but I am not sure though if it is NetBeans version related. It is very frequent in my case. Editor window loose ability to use find (ctrl+F) and right click does not work. Closing and reopening the specific file, restores editor functionality. I am not sure but those editors affected might me those that have been previously edited in the current NetBeans session. Has anyone using windows 11 experienced such an issue?
### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
_No response_
### How to reproduce
I am not sure how to reproduce. For me just a lid close can do this easily. Run as administrator does not help. It might be a Windows 11 only issue.
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
No / Don't know
### Operating System
Windows 11 pro
### JDK
25
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans binary zip
### Anything else
It happens very often. Opening the Find (ctrl+F) that brings the Editor Find bottom panel, prevent this sometimes, and this probably has to do with what is the active editor. So as a workaround I try to open Find in all editor windows I have open. I am used to have many open files, more that 30 but I do not think number of open editors is related.
### Are you willing to submit a pull request?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in NetBeans editor windows on Windows 11 after closing and reopening the laptop lid, focusing on files already edited during the session. Check whether Ctrl+F and right-click stop working and whether reopening the affected file restores them; done means editor functionality remains available after resume without reopening files.
