I suppose that core/winsys guys should take a look at this. Tim, look at this, please ? Thanks in advance. Well, we are finally bitten by the famous os-x phantom AWT dialog bug. I've read about it on the apple java-dev mailing list but never seen it until now. It is reproducible - open About, then help and a phantom empty About dialog appears and can't be closed. This is a bug in Apple's AWT implementation - previously shown dialogs reappear with no contents. I have heard about some possible workarounds for it, so I'll leave this bug report open for the time being, and if we can find a clean way to solve the problem, maybe we can fix it. A proper fix will have to come from Apple - these phantom dialogs do not exist for the JVM, they just show up on the screen and can't be closed. I'm downgrading this from P2 - if you simply click on the main window and continue doing your work, it doesn't stop you from getting anything done - it doesn't sit on top of the main window, it just hangs around annoyingly. I agree it's ugly, but there's no way java code can close a window it doesn't know exists. Adding Tomas to cc in case he has any ideas. Closing as invalid - that doesn't mean the issue's not real, just that Apple needs to fix it - we can't. closed |
