Menu does not work on Linux

Description

Running IJ2 from source 10-21-13 I cannot use the menu. IJ2 launches fine and app frame and menu look okay. But selecting a menu entry from the top of the frame has no effect (the menu is dead). And hovering over a toolbar button makes the menu disappear.

dscho can you test on your system to see if you can replicate?

comment:2 Changed 2013-10-21T13:38:31-05:00 by bdezonia

Note I'm using OpenJDK here

I just tried, and the toolbar does not disappear, nor is the menu unusable (Edit>Cut worked fine after selecting the ellipse tool and selecting an ellipsoidal region).

My java -version says this:

java version "1.6.0_27"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.12.6) (6b27-1.12.6-1ubuntu0.12.04.2)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

Thanks. I am using the exact same version of the OpenJDK. I'll futz some more.

I can consistently replicate disappearing menu. Start IJ2 and do not mouse over any of the app frame or launch any commands. Then as first interaction move mouse from below app towards the hand icon. Menu disappears. Can you try this again dscho?

Agh. Forgot to mention I am launching from within Eclipse (Kepler as of today).

Note that I am launching from app/ImageJ.app after running bin/populate-app.sh -DskipTests.

It is quite possible that Kepler launches the JVM in a "funny" way.

I now did what you asked me to: enter the mouse from the south, directly to the hand. Everything's groovy.

comment:9 Changed 2013-10-21T15:11:31-05:00 by bdezonia

Thanks dscho. Indeed if I launch ImageJ-linux64 via the app on the command line I cannot replicate.
