I have an
applet which spawns a JFrame that includes a JMenuBar with associated pop-up menus. If you pop a menu and then close the window with the X button, the menu is frozen in place and can't be dismissed (although it is active) when the window is resdisplayed.
We're caching our windows, so they don't get destroyed until the entire app is shut down, only hidden and reshown. I also found that we were recreating our menu everytime the window is displayed. I changed that to create the menu only once. Now when I resdisplay the window, I can actually "pick up" the frozen menu by moving the mouse over all menu options and it will get dismissed as normal when I select something or click in the frame.
I saw another article that suggested this might be fixed in JRE1.3, but I tried this and it made no difference. If anyone has seen this, I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks
