Description Torbjorn Norbye 2001-10-23 23:02:11 UTC 
This is using a fresh build from CVS sources this morning (pacific time). I'm
using
MDI mode. With jdk1.3.1_01 on Solaris SPARC.

First, there are no context menus for the nodes in the component inspector!
This makes it impossible to change the layout for a panel, for example, and very
inconvenient to cut, paste and reorder.

Second, I'm unable to change the Grid X value for a component in a GridLayout
(the problem may be more general, but this is where I'm observing it.)   It
currently
says "Relative". I select it, and replace it with "0". When I hit "Enter", it
goes right
back to saying "Relative" !!

I'll send the .form and .java file to you directly, I don't want to attach it to
this
bugreport since it's closed-source.
Comment 1 Marian Mirilovic 2001-10-24 09:19:57 UTC 
Yes it's true. I see the same behaviour for [nb_dev](20011024) build.
It's really very very very annoying.

I didn't see any changes in our module yesterday which could cause
this problem.

It must be RESOLVED today, Tomas !?!?!?
Comment 2 Tomas Pavek 2001-10-24 11:51:11 UTC 
The context menu problem has an easy workaround - click on "Component 
Inspector" tab first. So this is not P1.

The second problem (editable combo box) has bean already reported - 
see e.g. issue 16564 or issue 16902.
Comment 3 Tomas Pavek 2001-10-24 11:57:30 UTC 
Reassigning to window system. I've investigated the context menu 
problem (to help core with bugs a bit ;) and found out that this was 
caused by fix of issue 16631 (SplitContainerImpl.java rev 1.27). 
Reverting this change makes it work. The context menu is not shown 
because Component Inspector is not activated after form mode is 
opened - this is caused by that fix (it should be fixed better, 
probably elsewhere than in componentFocusGained method...

Hope this help you with the fix.
Comment 4 Jiri Rechtacek 2001-10-25 20:05:42 UTC 
You are right. The fix of the issue 16631 is seed of the problem with
popup menu. I'm going to rollback this fix (e.g. resolve this issue)
and explore other way to fix a problem with requestVisible(). Is it
acceptable?
Comment 5 Jan Zajicek 2001-10-26 10:59:40 UTC 
Just updatet the Summary field, this is general problem.
Comment 6 Marian Mirilovic 2001-10-26 11:19:48 UTC 
P2 -> P1
(beta 2 - stoper ?)
Comment 7 _ ttran 2001-10-26 12:24:14 UTC 
jrechtacek, please rollback the fix for 16631.  This one is much worse
I think
Comment 8 Jiri Rechtacek 2001-10-26 12:41:38 UTC 
Yes, bugfix #16631 is roll backed and it will be fixed later.
Comment 9 Marian Mirilovic 2001-11-05 15:58:32 UTC 
verified in [nb_dev](20011102)
Comment 10 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 16:46:24 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
