Daniel P commented on OFBIZ-567:
--------------------------------
- With Linux (Debian Etch), and JDK 1.5, the issue reproduces as I reported
previously. The same for various desktop managers: Gnome and other 'light
window managers' as xfce4 and icevm-lite. Tested also with both
XuiCoreSwing_v2_0_6_jdk1_4.jar and XuiCoreSwing_v2_0_6_jdk1_5.jar
- With Linux (Debian Etch), and JDK 1.4 (1.4.2_13), the issue does not
reproduce, whichever window manager is used. However in this case there is a
residual issue, as reported by Jacques Le Roux: when an 'alert' window is
displayed, if you click in another part of the window, the 'alert' dissapears
but the main screen is blocked (waiting user confirmation of the hidden alert).
Depending on the window manager you use, you can switch again to the alert
window to recover control: this has been tested successfully with a 'light'
window manager (icevm-lite) as suggested by Andy Zeneski. However, this is not
possible with Gnome: the alert window is not reachable.
Being the biggest issue with the JDK 1.5, I would suggest to check whether this
is really an issue with the SUN jvm for Linux, or maybe a compatibility issue
between XUI and JDK 1.5
Apart from this, for the smaller issues with JDK 1.4, the alert windows may
need to be modal, so that the user is forced to accept before switching to
another window.

> Hi,
> I am experiencing a big issue using OFBiz Point-Of-Sale application over
> Linux (Debian Etch) with Java JDK 1.5.0.x
> The problem is that the POS main screen behaves like a modal blocking window
> in Linux. Once the main screen is displayed, you cannot
> switch to another window of the system with Alt+Tab. What is worst, when the
> application tries to display an "Alert message" (like
> for example "Product Not Found" when you press SKU) the alert is actually
> presented behind the main screen, instead of on top of it.
> So, you cannot accept the message and you can neither do anything with the
> main screen: the application is blocked. Then I have to
> log in with a different TTY and kill the java process.
> This behaviour is not reproduced over Windows XP with the same Java JDK: you
> can swith to other application with Alt+Tab and alert
> messages are properly displayed in top.
> I just wanted to ask if anyone has tried POS over Linux and experienced such
> a problem. I'm a newbie to OFBiz and maybe I am doing
> something wrong. Otherwise, this is a big issue that has to be put in Jira.
> BTW, should I put the issue in Jira myself or is it
> restricted to developers ?
> ________From: "Jacques Le Roux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>________
> 1. Alt+Tab problem
> I just tried on updated Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) using last svn (rev.
> 490054) and Sun JDK 1.4.2_08 without any problems at all
> (BTW I never saw this problem before but must acknowledge that I'm worling
> more on XP). Did you try to use your mouse to switch to
> another task ? Is it only alt+tab that is not working ? Something strange
> though : Alt+Tab shows 2 windows for the POS : one
> labelled "OFBiz POS" corresponding to inner POS window and another one not
> labelled at all and corresponding to a frame (you see the
> frame only before loging) around what I suppose is the main window (the
> inner one). This last window may also corresponds to the
> splash screen not closed(?) because when lauching the POS I see one window
> without name related to the POS.
> 2. When (for instance) the "Product not found" dialog box is (normally) shown.
> In this case I can see also 2 POS related tasks with alt+tab and may access
> to others (non OFBiz POS) tasks without any problems.
> But YES I'm caught in POS and can't get back to it because the "Product not
> found" dialog box is no more accessible. Now if you try
> to do same thing with the modal box that appears when you use "Save Sale" you
> get the same behaviour. I tested this because these 2
> windows are not build in the same way. "Save Sale" is a pure XUI window.
> BTW I confirm that they are no problems on Windows.
