Generate [Insert ctrl+i] Dependency does not insert chosen dependency

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 23

What happened

Using (macOS 14) opening a maven pom.xml in and positioning the cursor over the Dependency Management stanza; ctrl+I or Source->Insert->Dependency does not insert the chosen dependency. The dependency is not duplicate.

On cold start of NetBeans this action works fine - external actions to the IDE introduce this behaviour - see steps to reproduce.

Only trace in the IDE log I have seen after this event;

How to reproduce

Create a maven project with a dependency management section add any dependency. Add the sortpom plugin from com.github.ekryd.sortpom.

<plugin>
        <groupId>com.github.ekryd.sortpom</groupId>
        <artifactId>sortpom-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <createBackupFile>false</createBackupFile>
          <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
          <expandEmptyElements>false</expandEmptyElements>
          <spaceBeforeCloseEmptyElement>false</spaceBeforeCloseEmptyElement>
          <sortDependencies>scope,groupId,artifactId</sortDependencies>
          <sortPlugins>groupId,artifactId</sortPlugins>
          <nrOfIndentSpace>4</nrOfIndentSpace>
          <keepBlankLines>true</keepBlankLines>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

Add a new dependency using the ctrl-i command to the dependency management section - does not matter what. That should work fine.

Now sort the pom using the sort-on:sort goal either from the command line or with the navigator.

Perform the same action to add a dependency to the pom, the IDE just skips to a random position in the pom and no dependency is added.

I will add a gif of this behaviour shortly.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
