Not sure, which component is the right one... Stan, could you look at this? Something touching palette. Thanks. this issue has actually nothing to do with palette. ;) the problem is in form's org.netbeans.modules.form.palette.ScrollPopupMenu this class wraps default JPopupMenu in a JScrollPane when the popup menu is too tall to fit on the screen. the popup menu ui listens for mouse events and cancels the popup if the event source does not come from a jpopupmenu class. however the source of all mouse wheel events is set to the scroll pane wrapper so the jpopupmenu is not found and the popup is cancelled. i tried to find some hack around this but with no luck so far. i give up, reassigning to component's owner ;) Doesn't look fixable in the current implementation of ScrollPopupMenu. Later we may consider some rewrite. We've divided the components into more categories in 6.0, so the menu content should always fit on the screen now. The scrollable menu is less urgent then. This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you. The NetBeans Team |
