Sometimes (quite often) when I open Tools menu, last items are not visible (see attachment). After investigating I found the best way how to reproduce it: change selected file in the explorer to a file of different filetype (then Tools menu is recreated), and click on Tools menu

Yarda can you look on this issue or perhaps you have an idea whom to assign? It's happening quite often, only "Tools" menu. Don't know if problem in JDK 1.4 or in NB. Reassigning.
Changing priority to P1 because this symptom got worse (the whole Tools menu leaves a grey rectangle on the screen) and all things dependent on focus stop working - e.g. properties of nodes are not displayed. The only thing that helped was to restart the IDE. Tested on jdk1.4 beta_refresh-b72 and FFJ-dev-010724_1-f4j_ce
Hmm, I saw this recently, but we are still looking for steps how to reproduce this. They will be very very helpful.
I have some notice to this bug that could help.I restart the IDE very often because of AutoUpdate. After each restart the last item in the Tools menu is gray. Moreover the AUing (installing) of some modules causes the adding of the item to the Tools menu and sometimes they are displayed in strange way too.
Hello Trung, I think that the fix of JInlineMenu that you were talking about on nbdev@ might help also this issue. Could you please add few comments here (and hopefully close it)?
[ttran] I've committed the JInlineMenu's fix today. Can someone please test the dev build tomorrow? I however don't believe that my patch would fix the problem described here.
unassigned myself
Hmm. As I know the problem was observed only in Pilsen (in latest dev build everything looks ok). So Rosta, can you verify Trung's patch in Pilsen?
BUG also appears in version : FFJ30 Fixed in main trunk, and FFJ 3.0 will be fixed by sustaining group.
*** Issue 14672 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Fixed in pilsen_fixes
Tested the JP3 and have to say that both bugs persist. 1.bug: sometimes aren't visible last items in tools menu 2.bug: tools menu never hide and all popupmenus behave strange Add2. Reproduce - on unix systems in MDI 1.create new Main class using NFT wizard 2.expand tools menu in the main window 3.now pres execute button in such way the tools menu doesn't hide when pressing the button 4.from now the tools menu (gray rectangle is visible forever) and hierarchical context menu in the explorer behaves strange - the ide is useless - needs to be restarted
Reasign to sustaining group.
In Tools menu you can see two separators and there aren't anything between them. The way how menu for i18n module is created, causes this problem. When there are these separators, then the grey rectangle remains in the screen (very often). The problem is in the JInline menu, when is setMenuItem is called during creating submenus. As possible fix is change way, how create submenu for tools in i18n module. So bug is fixed in i18n module in classes (pilsen_fixes branch): org.netbeans.modules.i18n.I18nGroupAction org.netbeans.modules.i18n.I18nGroupPopupAction org.netbeans.modules.i18n.I18nGroupMenuAction
Petre, can you, please, also file an issue against vcscore with detailed description, how to solve similar problem on their side in the context menu. And, also file new issue against core and JInlineMenu to have this fixed in the right place and not only workarounded. Add here the new issues numbers, thanks.
I filled issue 16051 for vcscore
Seems like fixed, verified in [nb_release33](200112040330) on [jdk1.4](88)
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
