Re: Spaces issues with IDEA (was: Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 & Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 7)



Maarten, thanks for your thorough bug report! Also, don't worry about filing multiple issues under multiple separate bugs. If we find they all have the same underlying cause, we will track them down as duplicates - but if two issues are in a single bug, and only one can be addressed, we'll have to spin out the separate issue somehow.

I'll be looking into what is or is not getting hooked up until the window is forcibly re-activated.

I was hoping to identify if your last issue can be reproduced outside of IntelliJ IDEA, because IDEA's Find-in-Path and progress dialogs aren't really true modal dialogs: they are undecorated windows which paint their own title bar - so we really don't have the hints from the Java API side of things to mark the window with the right tags (document, palette, etc), in native.

Thanks for your help,

Hi Mike,

Overall this looks like a very nice release, and I want to thank you and the team at Apple for it.


However, I have to mention that while the Spaces problems have been reduced, there are still a number of reproducible situations where this is not resolved.
I have just submitted an extensive step-by-step bug report (ID 6246173) that covers at least 2 classes of Spaces problems remaining in Java.


In short, new Java windows seem to not immediately register correctly with Spaces, and when a modal dialog is shown, Spaces will never activate the correct space for a Java application being switched to.
This is running on Java 6.


Kind regards,

Maarten

Yes, there were a number of changes between the DP and GM, and you will have to run the manual updaters to overwrite the DP.

FYI, here are the release notes:
