GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 648363
Can't focus or click Java applications menu when the window is maximized
Last modified: 2011-10-31 17:29:32 UTC
When a Swing based Java application window is maximized either by double-clicking it or snap it to the top edge of the desktop, the menu is difficult to be accessed because the focus seems to be shifted to the left. When I click a menu item on the app's menubar, the menu seems to be clicked but the focus is immediately shifted to other menu item on it's left, sometimes several items to the left. Eventually, the initial size and position of the window (before maximized) effects how far the focus will miss. Thus, the smaller the window the farther the menu focus would miss.
I'm running Gnome 3 on Archlinux, gtk3 3.0.9-1, gnome-shell 3.0.0.2-2, metacity 2.34.0-1, mutter 3.0.0-1
This sounds like the usual Swing problems like in bug 647866.
I am also seeing this on F15 with mutter 3.0.2.1-1, metacity 2.34.0-2, gnome-shell 3.0.2-1
So, is this a mutter problem, gtk3 problem, or swing problem?
I filed a bug on Oracle's database about this problem: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7055733
