Hi All, I had reported a deadlock issue that requires app restart whenever a context menu is shown in JFX embedded within Swing (i.e., JFXPanel) on macOS:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8251038 I had not seen any updates on the issue in a month and I'm wondering what to do. This is a serious bug for me and I'd like to have as informed an opinion at this point on my decision on whether to continue using JavaFX. Any advice here would be appreciated. A few things: * I wanted to add information to the ticket but I'm a 3rd party bug reporter and I do not see how one can do this. I found that this situation is reproducible if I use "built-in" context menus, such as right clicking a text field. I thought I might be able to replace my own JFX code to use Swing popups and windows where necessary, but going and patching the built-in controls felt like too much. * I tested using the recently released JavaFX 15 and found the deadlock to still be reproducible. (Using AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.8+10) * I don't really understand the JBS in regards to priority (i.e, what P3 means). I understand that using JavaFX within a Swing application may not be a priority for anyone else but myself. However, I am trying to understand if this is being looked at and if there's any way for me to figure out a timeline so I can make a decision whether to remove JavaFX from my application or not. There is a lot of code in my application that I'd have to port back to Swing, but realizing that any macOS user of my app is pretty much going to run into this at some point, I have to seriously consider this option. Thanks, Steven
