PopupMenu.show() blocks on Windows 95 in JDK 1.1.1, but not on Solaris under either 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 as of April 30.

I can think of no great reason it should block, but whether or not it does, it should be consistent among the platforms.


Here is a sample program -

import java.awt.*;

public class XX {

  public static void main(String[] args){
    Frame f = new Frame();
    Panel p = new Panel();
    p.setSize(200,200);
    p.setLayout(null);
    f.add("Center",p);
    f.pack();
    f.setVisible(true);
    PopupMenu m = new PopupMenu();
    m.add("Item A");
    m.add("Item B");
    p.add(m);
    m.show(p,50,50);
    System.out.println("Show has returned");
  }

}

On Solaris, "Show has returned" prints immediately (while PopupMenu is still
showing).
On Windows, "Show has returned" does not print until after an item is selected
(or the popup is dismissed).

I have reverified that this bug still exists in 1.1.5.

Also on WindowsNT. The sample program above is a usable test case. a similar one is attached. I added keyword pjava as this bug also affects Personal Java
