Description _ tboudreau 2005-06-21 02:40:40 UTC 
Trying out a build of the new code completion.  The mouse wheel doesn't work, at least on mac os.

BTW, I also notice on Mac OS, both the completion and doc are always using heavyweight popups - 
probably better to use javax.swing.PopupFactory unless you need the popup to receive focus.

Mouse wheel works on WinXP in code completion. Seems to be a MacOS specific issue.
Comment 2 _ tboudreau 2005-09-30 07:49:27 UTC 
Any plans to fix for 5.0?  I run into this about 20x a day.

Possibly an issue with whatever kind of window you're using, on mac?  Though I don't know of any such 
problems.

I'd still strongly suggest using PopupFactory, not your own JWindows for this sort of thing - this kind of 
bug is exactly why.
Comment 3 Miloslav Metelka 2005-11-07 12:14:50 UTC 
We do use PopupFactory (please see CompletionPopup class). We use 'null' as
owner component in PF.getPopup() (i.e. heavyweight popup gets used) as if not
doing so we had problems that mouse events were passed to underlying editor pane
instead of the particular popup. Tim, if you have any time to test it, it might
be interesting to test whether it would help to pass 'completionComponent' at
CompletionPopup:72 instead.
Anyway we should resolve into 5.0.
Comment 4 Miloslav Metelka 2006-12-14 12:17:54 UTC 
In the longterm we would like to parent to JEditorPane - it would also fix issue
58540. Marking for 6.0.

P4 imo
