> Drag this Bean into a project (Netbeans will placed it in "Other Components"), and try to set any one of the values to 10. Changing one of them should change ALL of them immediately. In fact, if you use a JOptionPane to grab the values directly from the property sheet, you will see that all 3 values ARE updated (but not refreshed). Similarly, if you just MouseOver one of the other properties, you will see that even the ToolTip for that property has been updated. However, the Property Sheet itself is retarded and doesn't seem to realize that it's supposed to actually refresh the values of the other properties as well. And there is no way to tell it to do that (or at least, I can't find one). Now, if you click the mouse away from the bean onto some other object, or if you simply click on the "Properties" node, then you will see the values are all refreshed at once. But this does not happen immediately after setting the values, only when the property sheet loses focus or is to
