I have been running into problems with transitions in Pivot. Admittedly, I have been using Pivot in a few ways that probably aren't particularly common...
Before I raise a JIRA issue, I wondered if anybody has any tips / information they could give me: I have been trying to get functionality implemented whereby dialogs can be dragged outside of the main Pivot window. I am hosting the Pivot dialog in an AWT dialog. My code was based on the Pivot Contrib library: http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/pivot-contrib/ I have the functionality working reasonably well, but have had to address a number of bugs that are caused by the Pivot transition implementation. I have had to implement my own skin classes to override certain methods to disable transition animations as they caused problems. For example: * Sometimes transitions steals focus. If a dialog is opened in a context menu action, the fade effect for the context menu can steal the focus from the newly opened dialog. * Sometimes transitions prevent redraw. Rollup animations can interfere with the redrawing of the dialog that is hosted in a java.awt.Dialog. Is there any scope for improvements with the Pivot implementation of transitions? Am I hitting bugs, or am I just using Pivot in an unsupported fashion? Why are transitions stealing focus / preventing redawing? I could put together some test cases, although due to the library code they will be quite large and not very succinct. Oliver
