Dear Jerome,

Indeed, to close the dialog, you should better use this.hide() and then
<dialog>.dispose() from the parent dialog.

If we are talking about a JDialog then I disagree. show() and hide() are deprecated in Java 1.5. Continuing the trend to move to setVisible(boolean) instead, as was done for Component in Java 1.1.

You should use setVisible(false), or dispose() if you don't intend to make the same dialog visible again. You don't need a setVisible(false) if you are just going to call dispose() anyway.

That being said. I have had problems with dialogs shown from modal dialogs on all platforms. E.g. a help dialog launched from an input dialog. Issues with focus and event processing are the main things.

Have you searched Sun's bug database?

Scott
