This morning, we have tested our Editor1 applet against Safari 5.1, Firefox 6 and Google Chrome 13 running on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. The behavior of Safari 5.1 does not fundamentally differ from the behavior of the other browsers (hence, basically it's a Java plug-in problem, and not a browser problem). However it's true that with Safari, dragging the top bar of the applet panel is less obvious than with say, Firefox. I mean, this works more or less randomly with Safari. That's why we have taken the care to write in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/known_problems.html#applet_problems ``no *really* *usable* workaround'' ``Pressing Cmd+Shift *sometimes* allows to drag the applet panel'' Another possible workaround, that we did not test, seems to remove "<param name="separate_jvm" value="true" />" from the applet parameters. Excerpts from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_applet/editor1.html: --- <applet name="XXE" id="XXE" mayscript="true" code="com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.applet.Applet" width="100%" height="600"> <param name="jnlp_href" value="xxe.jnlp" /> <param name="appClass" value="com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.applet.Editor1App" /> <param name="separate_jvm" value="true" /> <param name="classloader_cache" value="false" /> <param name="argument0" value="-new" /> <param name="argument1" value="DocBook v5+" /> <param name="argument2" value="article" /> <param name="argument3" value="Untitled.xml" /> Sorry but XMLmind XML Editor requires the Java<sup>TM</sup> Plug-In version 1.6.0_10 and above in order to run. </applet> --- All in all, it seems that the future of applets and desktop applications written in Java is not bright on Mac OS X. For us, this is really a problem as we have a lot (may be one third) of Mac customers. And no, we do not intend to rewrite XXE in Objective-C/Cocoa or in C++/Qt. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
