FS#973 - Menus of Java applications close when mouse is released User who did this - Uli Schlachter (psychon) ----------
Still I strongly suppose that it's neither Java's fault nor awesome's one.
I think it certainly is java's fault. The "gray window" bug for example is java ignorring all events until it gets reparented by the window manager. Then it uses some (broken) heuristic for detecting non-reparenting WMs. When that heuristic is wrong, java will ignore all events forever and thus not paint its window when it is told to. This is certainly java's fault. For this bug, I am sure that the problem is in java, too (the window manager has nothing to do with menus, doesn't even see them). However, digging into the java code to figuring out that other issue already took enough of my time and what were the results from that? I now know that this bug is java being stupid and I managed to find a several years old java bug report with some patches which is being ignored for years. In other words, Sun/Oracle doesn't really care about standards, they just care about java working on kde/gnome. I am 99.9% sure that this issue is in java, too and I am in 99.9% sure that digging into java's source code to figure out what is going on is just a another waste of my time. However, I reopened this issue. Let's just keep it open. Perhaps someone will eventually be bored enough to figure out what exactly java is doing wrong and will then write another patch which gets ignored. Perhaps no one will bother. ---------- More information can be found at the following URL: https://awesome.naquadah.org/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=973#comment2891 You are receiving this message because you have requested it from the Flyspray bugtracking system.
