Description Peter Nabbefeld 2004-08-13 05:15:43 UTC 
I want to add a JDialog to my 'Other components'.
Using 'Add from Palette -> Swing' a menu appears
with a scrollbar, the JDialog entry hidden, of
course (because it is at the end of the list).
When I now try to scroll to the end of the list,
the menu disappears immediately when I'm pressing
the left mouse-button over the scrollbar.

However, as JDialog cannot be added to another
swing component, I can get the effect by trying to
add a JDialog to the existing form using the
component palette: instead of being added (as this
is impossible), the JDialog component goes to the
'Other components'.

Nevertheless, this is a bug and should be fixed as
soon as possible.

BTW: I'm using w2k with NB4.0dev (8th Aug.),
screen resolution is 1024 x 768.

I am sorry I am not able to reproduce this issue exactly. I am
able to scroll the content of the popup menu using scrollbar,
but I agree that there is an issue if the mouse cursor is over
some menu item (e.g. not over the scrollbar and not outside the popup
menu) when the scrolling is finished. In such a case the popup menu
disappears as soon as you move the cursor away from this menu item.
Comment 2 Peter Nabbefeld 2004-08-17 14:55:13 UTC 
I'll download most recent JDK 5 beta, probably it's a JDK issue.
Comment 3 Jan Stola 2004-08-17 15:05:18 UTC 
My previous comment applies to JDK 1.4.2. I tried it again with
JDK 5.0 and I was able to reproduce the described behaviour.
Comment 4 Peter Nabbefeld 2004-08-17 15:07:59 UTC 
Which build? I'm currently downloading build 60 - does it make sense?
Comment 5 Jan Stola 2004-08-17 15:15:16 UTC 
I was able to reproduced it in 1.5.0-beta3-b60.
Comment 6 Peter Nabbefeld 2004-08-17 15:28:10 UTC 
Could You file a bug against the JDK, please? I'd suppose to set
priority at least to P2 - if someone needs the last item of such a
menu, the menu would be unusable. After this I'd propose to close this
bug, as it is not an NB bug, but a JDK one.
Comment 7 Jan Stola 2004-08-18 17:08:22 UTC 
The implementation of the popup menu changed in JDK 5.0 => The
implementation of the scrollable popup menu was modified.
It should work by now.

Is there a bug filled against JDK1.5? Which one?
