Description Boris Pruessmann CLA 2002-12-18 16:40:31 EST

When trying to change a font, Eclipse pops up a new window. After clicking inside the 
window, Eclipse freezes.
Comment 1 Veronika Irvine CLA 2002-12-19 09:29:27 EST 
Not sure what you mean by Eclispe freezes.  The font dialog is application 
modal and therefore when it is open, the rest of Eclipse should not respond 
until the font dialog is closed.  You can select a new font and then close the 
dialog with the buttons in the top left.  This functionality works for me.  I 
do not see the bug you are reporting.
Comment 2 Boris Pruessmann CLA 2002-12-19 10:12:50 EST 
About two seconds after bringing up the dialog, the mouse cursors turns into a 
spinning disc. I cannot change the font's family, typeface or size. In 
addition, I cannot dismiss the dialog (neither via keyboard nor with the 
mouse). The only option is to kill eclipse. I have observered this behavior on 
two OS X 10.2.2 systems (G4 and PowerBook G3)

BTW: When bringing up the dialog, the console displays:

_NSAutoreleasePool(): Object 0x69cd7c0 of class NSCFArray autorelease with no 
pool in place - just leaking

Please let me know how I can further help to track this down.
Comment 3 Boris Pruessmann CLA 2002-12-19 11:22:47 EST 
Just as addition: it seems that the ui is responsive while there is no spinning disc cursor. 
(At least I can scroll the font size table for that short moment. When the cursor changes, 
this immediately stops)

Are you using JDK 1.4?
Comment 5 Boris Pruessmann CLA 2002-12-19 12:21:13 EST 
I've installed 1.4.1DP6. Happens with either of the JDKs as default.
Comment 6 Veronika Irvine CLA 2002-12-19 14:00:33 EST 
This bug sounds similar to:

http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27997

In both cases we are accessing a Cocoa dialog through a carbon API on JDK 1.4.1.

Andre, can you try this on JDK 1.4.1?  Is there any known problems with this 
type of interaction?  I remember a posting with regard to the fact that JDK 1.3 
and JDK 1.4 don't play well together (even when JDK 1.3 is the default) and you 
have to get the latest JDK 1.4.1.  I am not on the trial for JDK 1.4.1 so I 
don't know much about it.  What is the good version of JDK 1.4.1 that fixes 
this compatability issue?
Comment 7 Boris Pruessmann CLA 2002-12-20 03:05:20 EST 
This works after installing 1.4.1DP8.
Comment 8 Veronika Irvine CLA 2002-12-20 09:10:49 EST 
Closing as Wontfix since there is nothing to do on the SWT side.  The fix is to 
upgrade to JDK 1.4.1DP8.
Comment 9 Andre Weinand CLA 2002-12-20 12:43:53 EST 
Sorry, but It doesn't work with 1.4.1DP8.
[since under NDA, sent more details as private mail to Boris]
Comment 10 Veronika Irvine CLA 2003-02-05 17:20:29 EST 
Andre, I can not run under JDK 1.4.1 because I have not signed the NDA.
Moving to you since you have.
