ImageJ 3D Viewer -- Cannot View Menu Dropdown Options

[j.cai]

Hi,

I'm getting the same error described here: http://imagej.1557.x6.nabble.com/Cannot-see-menu-options-in-3D-Viewer-on-MacOSX-td5000501.html.

I am on Mac OSX 10.8, and developing an application with the 3D Viewer. If I try to access the dropdown menu in the window's default state, the dropdown "disappears" behind the content pane. However, if I resize the window so that it is very skinny, I can see the dropdown options.

Is there a fix for this?

Hi Jonathon,

This is a very old issue with heavyweight vs lightweight AWT components.
Did you try "JPopupMenu.setDefaultLightweightPopupEnabled(false)" in your
code?

Regards,
Curtis

Hi Curtis--

In the ImageJ3DUniverse file that comes with the jar, that line is present in the init(window) method:

JPopupMenu.setDefaultLightWeightPopupEnabled(false);

So I believe it's set. Could something else be causing this problem?

According to this article:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/mixing-components-433992.html

Mixing Lightweight and Heavyweight components shouldn't be a problem anymore.
"As of the JDK 6 Update 12 and JDK 7 build 19 releases".

Some exceptions mentioned in the article.

Yep, mixing is no problem anymore. Except when it is, of course ;-)
