Dear Jason, Thanks for your detailed report for Snow Leopard OS 10.6! Interesting that Jmol's menus work better in OS 10.6 than in 10.5 Also interesting that Chrome works.
Someday I'll get motivated to upgrade to Snow Leopard, I suppose ... Please note that Expose "All Windows" also enables you to retrieve the Jmol Console or a detached Jmol when it gets hidden behind another window. Chrome: PROTEOPEDIA fails: It thinks java is disabled but it is not. I suspect this may be a problem with the java detection routine in Proteopedia. FIRSTGLANCE seems to work fine. The atoms demo page at Jmol.Org works fine (http://jmol.sourceforge.net/demo/atoms/). Here are my results for Chrome current version (10.0.648.204) with Jmol 12.1.30, Apple Java 1.5.0_28, OS 10.5.8. ZOOM TEXT There is no "Zoom Text Only" in the View menu, so enlarging text also enlarges Jmol. I like Firefox better in this regard. RIGHT CLICK raises the menu reliably with this version of Jmol in both Chrome and Firefox. MENU REMAINS USABLE when you move the mouse outside Jmol (it vanishes in Firefox). BUT I FOUND A NEW TRICK FOR FIREFOX: Raise the menu, move the mouse inside the menu, click down but to not let up. Now you can go anywhere in the menu. When you let up the mouse click, the action where the mouse is occurs. NO APPLET FOCUS BORDER in Chrome (Firefox has one). CURSOR FAILS TO CHANGE IN APPLET when at right border for zooming, or holding down Shift key for zooming (same in Firefox). RAISING THE APPLET TITLE BAR TO DETACH APPLET suffers from the most of the same pecularities in Chrome as I reported for Firefox. Except the title bar does NOT disappear while you move the mouse a long distance to it. -Eric At 3/29/11, Jason Grout wrote: >On 3/29/11 10:05 AM, Jason Grout wrote: > > When the applet is dragged off of the page, it doesn't appear as a > > separate window in the window manager (e.g., I can't do command-` to > > shift focus to the window).
