I can tell you what the problem is, I think. When you click on a button you
start a "thread" that processes your click as an "event". Generally one
doesn't want to make that thread wait for anything, so we have two running
threads in Jmol that get the script request, in this case "console" passed
to them. Now, the reason there are two threads is that some browsers have
security issues with a thread that is a JavaScript-based thread opening
files.
Something is amiss there. One way to investigate is go open the Java console
on your machine at type the letter T. This displays a thread report. For
example, on my machine I see:
Group ...examples-11/-threadGroup,ac=5,agc=0,pri=4
Applet 1 LiveConnect Worker Thread,4,alive
AWT-EventQueue-2,4,alive
thread applet-JmolApplet-1,4,alive
CommmandWatcherThread,1,alive
HoverWatcher,1,alive
I don't know exactly how to interpret that, though. After opening the
console I see one more thread:
Applet 1 LiveConnect Worker Thread,4,alive
AWT-EventQueue-2,4,alive
thread applet-JmolApplet-1,4,alive
CommmandWatcherThread,1,alive
HoverWatcher,1,alive
TimerQueue,4,alive,daemon
What do you see, Jonathan?
