Main menu activates during Alt-Tab

Reported by: snake.scaly@… Owned by: maxence@…
Priority: high Milestone:
Component: UI > Main window Version: 0.8.2
Severity: normal Keywords:

Java version: unspecified

Description

When you press Alt-Tab like this: press Alt, press Tab, release Alt, release Tab,---muCommander's main menu is activated before windows are switched. Therefore when you return to muCommander and try to operate file panes you find yourself browsing main menu instead. This prevents smooth workflow so I really hope this can be fixed.

Also tried to install jre6 update 10 (VM version 11.0-b15)---the problem stays there.

Thanks for both of your reports!

This issue is caused by a bug in the Java runtime registered at sun.com : http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4841881

I have committed a workaround which deselects the menu bar when muCommander is 'deactivated' (i.e. not the active window anymore). The fix has been tested under Windows XP with Java 1.6 (10.0-b19) and I didn't notice any side effect.

The nightly is rebuilding and will be ready in about 15 minutes. Could you guys please download it and confirm that the bug is fixed for you?

Thanks again,
Maxence
