If I select a text on unix platforms and past it by middle mouse button to 'File Name Patterns' field in Find/Replace in projects dialog it always paste '(all files)'
It works fine on WIN when using CTRL+C/CTRL+V. Emane, can you verify that this also works on Linux? In other words, is it just the 'middle mouse button' issue? Thanks.
Yes, of course. I do not know how it is called so I used 'selection clipboard'.
Thanks for the info. I reproduced the same behavior with NB profiler where a similar technique is used. IMO this is a bug of Swing implementation (Windows not affected); I would expect that the focus event will be delivered before the text is pasted into the combo. Lowering to P4 until it is clear how to proceed with this; JDK should accept this issue or suggest a way how to work-around it.
But why do the other textfields in the dialog work correctly? I think the '(all files)' is always put and selected in the textfield when the dialog lost focus.
This bug is caused by interference of three mechanisms: a) automatic "select all" - content of a text-field is automatically selected when the text-fields gains focus b) automatic display of "(all files)" - whenever the file name pattern text-field loses focus, string "(all files)" is displayed in it c) selection clipboard - whenever text is selected, it is put to the selection clipboard Windows does not have any selection clipboard so it is not affected. All other systems are affected. The interference works as follows: 1) text-field "File Name Patterns:" gains focus. 2) focus listener A is notified and causes that all text "(all files") is selected 3) selection clipboard is notified and stores the selected text 4) focus listener B is notified and removes the "(all files)" text 5) the user presses the middle button - content of the selection clipboard is copied to the text-field This particular could be solved by making sure that the "(all files)" text is removed before the test is selected. It would not solve the case that a real file name pattern is specified.
Fixed (in the trunk). I modified the code such that it is guaranteed that "(all files)" is removed sooner than it might be selected (and thus put to the selection clipboard).
