SUGGESTED FIX webrev: http://javaweb.sfbay/jcg/6u3/swing/6544309/ mail-archive: http://sa.sfbay.sun.com/mail-archive/6544309/ The fix for 6492266 turned out not so good. Some annoying problems weren't eliminated. The problem was in the fact, that the IM menu is handled by different EDT than it's parent. The fix made the menu always heavyweight. I invited a new simple approach. All the problems will be solved if the menu and it's parent will be handled with the same EDT. I wrote a code, which finds EDT of the menu parent and uses it to show the menu. Also I found and fixed a related problem, which consists in IM menu inaccessibility for keyboard input just after menu appearance. The cause is in BasicPopupMenuUI.MenuKeyboardHelper.stateChanged() method. The method is responsible also for finding of a popup menu invoker and for assigning an input map to it. Now if the invoker is JDialog, the input map isn't assigned. A couple of lines of code fixed the problem. Finally, I had to cut off a part of the test case for 6492266 because, in fact, I partially rolled back the fix for 6492266.
