Thanks Roger,
Had it fixed in less than 5 minutes:
public void setStatus(final TestStatus status) {
this.status = status;
if (label != null)
{
ApplicationContext.queueCallback(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
label.setText(status.toString());
setStatusInfo();
}
});
}
}

Subject: RE: Issue with Threads and Panes
Is the actual update of the UI object done in a separate thread or in the main
UI thread? Because all UI changes need to be done in the main application
context thread (where the events are being handled) or you will get strange
stuff like this happening. You can use "ApplicationContext.queueCallback(new
Runnable() { ... });" to get the update happening on the correct thread.
If it is happening in the right place, then we potentially have a bug. But,
I've never seen anything like this happening.

Subject: Issue with Threads and Panes
This is related to the question that I posted earlier that I had to use a
workaround for.
I have a TablePane with a ScrollPane with yet another TablePane inside it. All
of these are in a cardpane. The innermost TablePane contains a list of data
pulled from objects that implement Runnable.
What is happening is that when the object's status gets updated inside the
thread, the proper method is called to update the status field in the UI, but
only the color changes. The text does not update until I move the mouse.
Example: All objects have an initial status of WAITING. This status is shown in
grey. Once it starts RUNNING, it changes to blue. FAIL is red and PASS is
green. The colors update properly no matter what, but the text only changes
when I move the mouse. Also the color being displayed is a result of a switch
case based on the status.
Has anyone else noticed delayed changes like this? I can't tell my users to
keep the mouse moving. :)
