Description Lynne Kues CLA 2002-11-13 16:49:08 EST 
Build 20021113

Note this is Windows XP.

Open a Java Perspective.
Open a Java Browsing Perspective.
Switch back and forth between the two.

On my XP machine I can visibly see the menu bar "shrink" as menu items are 
removed, then "expand" as menu items are added.  It actually looks like it's 
animated.  Anyway, very noticeable and somewhat strange since I'm switching 
between two perspectives that have the same base menus (i.e., the menu bar for 
each perspective is the same).

What machine do you have?
Comment 2 Lynne Kues CLA 2002-11-14 10:35:28 EST 
Slow I guess <g> P2, 400 mhz, 640 RAM.  Even so, what I am seeing is new 
behavior.  When I do the same thing on an end of October build, I do not see 
the all the flashiness.

If this is a regression, this needs to be fixed for M3.
Comment 4 Eduardo Pereira CLA 2002-11-14 16:22:44 EST 
Fix released in the HEAD stream. Will be included in the M3 build.
Changes on MenuManager.java
Comment 5 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-11-15 10:20:29 EST 
Was released for M3.
