hi, i'm having (and have, for a long time) problems with openoffice and java-based (perhaps only netbeans-based?) apps.
for openoffice, any menu opens in the far right edge (with xinerama, on the far right edge of the rightmost display) of the display. it then can be clicked and operated corretly where it appears. as for netbeans (and jswat, which also uses netbeans platform as a base), it's a bit more complicated, but let me try to describe. start netbeans so that it is not maximized and not in the upper left of the display. it works fine. move it around, still works fine, resize, still works fine. now if i maximize it (not by moving to the upper left corner and resizing, but by the maximize shortcut), then the menus start acting weird. it seems that the actual position of the mouse pointer and the hot spot of the mouse pointer get "out of sync" so to speak, as if the hot spot stayed where the window was before maximization. i've made a capture which hopefully better shows what i'm trying to say. this is a netbeans window maximized, while i'm trying to click tools->options. the left mouse button must always be held down, or else it instantly loses any interaction with the menus (in the capture i released it once when i completely lost track of where i might be). the capture is available at http://dawn.dev.hu/~ice/tmp/wmjava.avi i'm not sure whether java stuff other than those based on netbeans platform exhibit this behaviour. i've seen this with at least one other nb platform stuff as well. has anyone seen any of these before? any ideas where to start attacking? thanks, -- [-] mkdir /nonexistent -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
