Well, this is a problem related to activate/deactivate of the application and the hidding/recovering of the panels too.
With latest GNUstep from cvs and Window Maker 0.80.1. First problem is: - launch a GNUstep application. - before the menu appears, activate another X window (an xterm for example). The problem is that the menu of the GNUstep application the appears. It should not because another application has been activated (xterm) between the launch and the building of the menu. More funny: - launch a GNUstep application. - wait for it to be completly launched, with its menu on the screen and one window. - launch another GNUstep application. - before the menu appears, activate the window of the first application. Now we have the menus of both GNUstep applications on the screen! - activate another X window (an xterm for example). Only the menu of the first GNUstep application disappears. Now, the real problems: NSLog(@"[confirmPanel makeKeyAndOrderFront:self]\n"); [confirmPanel makeKeyAndOrderFront:self]; NSLog(@"if([[NSApplication sharedApplication]runModalForWindow:confirmPanel]){\n"); if([[NSApplication sharedApplication]runModalForWindow:confirmPanel]){ NSLog(@"YES --> [confirmPanel orderOut:self]\n"); [confirmPanel orderOut:self]; // ... return(YES); }else{ NSLog(@"NO --> [confirmPanel orderOut:self]\n"); [confirmPanel orderOut:self]; // ... return(NO); } confirmPanel is created with: confirmPanel=[[NSPanel alloc] initWithContentRect:NSOffsetRect(panelFrame,20.0,50.0) styleMask:NSTitledWindowMask|NSResizableWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO]; [confirmPanel setDelegate:self]; [confirmPanel setTitle:@"MapTree Parameters Confirmation"]; [confirmPanel setMinSize:panelFrame.size]; And a set of: [[confirmPanel contentView]addSubview:subView]; - while in the runModalForWindow: loop, activate another X window (for example an xterm). The modal panel and the menu of the GNUstep application disappear. - move the cursor without clicking over the main window of the GNUstep application. The panel is made visible (makeKeyAndOrderFront:) again! (not the menu). - click on the main window or the key panel (the xterm window is correctly deactivated), but the menu of the GNUstep application does not appear. - double-click on the panel content, the menu appears. Now, there are cases less frequently reproducibles, where one can click on a Ok or Cancel button on the panel (invoking a [[NSApplication sharedApplication]stopModalWithCode:1]; ), then the panel is orderedOut and when the application is reactivated, the panel is show again, of course outside of any modal loop. -- __Pascal_Bourguignon__ (o_ Software patents are endangering () ASCII ribbon against html email //\ the computer industry all around /\ and Microsoft attachments.
