[dev aug 27] With or without -J-Dnetbeans.popup.linuxhack=true, no
popup menus in the IDE work; neither Explorer context menus, frame or
top-component tab menus, editor context menus, etc. They appear and
look fine, and the first item is drawn selected, but moving the mouse
does not change the selection or permit items to be chosen. Clicking
on a menu item (whether the first and selected one, or a subsequent
and unselected one) simply closes the menu. Keyboard navigation of all
but the editor context menu works fine. For main menus, the menu can
be posted with a single mouse click, but is then unusable as for
context menus; if the mouse button is not released but the mouse is
dragged, the menu works normally. Dropdown lists in e.g. boolean
property editors are similarly unresponsive to mouse movement. The IDE
is practically unusable; [dev aug 23] does not exhibit the problem.
