Description rlucas 2002-12-13 19:34:32 UTC 
When launching NetBeans 3.4 from the NetBeans launcher on 
MacOSX 10.2.2, if I launch under JDK 1.4.1 DP6 (developer 
preview 6, from 25 November 2002), the context menus 
(control-click on file items to access e.g. 
compile/build/copy/paste/CVS) do not appear; instead, the 
file item clicked on is boxed in white with a blue border.

Under JDK 1.3.1, context menus seem to work fine; when a 
file item is control-clicked, it is boxed in white with a 
blue border, then returned to a blue highlight as the 
context menu displays properly.

In a possibly related note, launching from Netbeans 
Launcher under JDK 1.4.1 DP6 causes the netbeans proces 
icon to be a blank white document, not the NetBeans cube 
logo.

I'll report the above to Apple as well.

In a more distantly related note, context menus sometimes 
disappear from my NB 3.4 on Win 2k w/ JDK 1.4 installation 
as well, but they can be "revived" by clicking on another 
tab.  I will submit an alternate report on this.

Problems with context menu has been fixed in JDK 1.4.1 public release and NetBeans 
3.5

rlucas, can you verified ?
Comment 4 rlucas 2003-04-11 18:46:26 UTC 
Yes, thank you very much.  The Apple release 1.4.1 JDK shows the context menu, but 
does have the following notes/oddities for information only (main functional issue of this 
ticket IS RESOLVED OK):

- Now option-click instead of ctrl-click brings up the explorer context menu OK.

- If you keep holding option during a click on a filesystem explorer element after the 
context menu has popped-up, the highlighting in blue of the current option gets "stuck" on 
the default option.  That is, if you drag the mouse down within the menu but are still 
holding option-click, only the first option gets highlighted, and there is no highlighting of 
the option you have the mouse over (but whatever option you do click on DOES work).  
An exception to this is if while doing the above, you mouse over a context sub-menu (e.g. 
tools >>) then that gets highlighted when the submenu pops up. 

- The meta-click (ctrl-click and option-click both tried) in a java editor window now does 
NOT bring up the editor-based context menu.

Keep up the great work, folks!

The problem with the editor-based context menu is fixed in NetBeans 3.5. Please see issue #32263 and issue #25536 for details.
