JDK-6208545 - The popup menu displays the graphical box but there is no menu items inside the box.
Description
Sun Studio 11 will be shipped to run on either J2SE 1.4.2 or 1.5. It runs fine
on 1.4.2, but if run on 1.5, after less than 10 minutes, the menus become empty
rectangles (correct size) and the entire application is unable to be used.

Some menu semantics still work. If the 1st menu item brings up a dialog box, you
can still do that. If the 1st menu item is a pullright menu, you can still post
the pullright (although its also empty). Context menus for non-menubar menus also
exhibit this behavior.

Since we don't have this problem with 1.4.2, this seems like a 1.5 compatability
problem. Its extremely serious as it puts the entire release significantly at
risk. Although we aren't close to FCS, we can't even go to EA with this problem!

WORK AROUND Use -client to force client compiler ###@###.### 2005-2-18 01:12:45 GMT Or, use -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,javax/swing/SizeRequirements,expandedTile with server VM. ###@###.### 2005-2-22 16:35:20 GMT

EVALUATION This is only reproducible with -server, submitter and others indicate this does not happen with -client. Kannan did more investigation and determined: - The bug is not reproduceable from mustang b08 onwards - Similarly the bug wasn't reproduceable until Tiger b51 and it failed with Tiger b62. So it broke somewhere between these two build no. As this looks specific to c2 I'm reassigning. ###@###.### 2005-2-18 01:09:05 GMT This looks like it probably is 5107525 (as does 6208545). Would appreciate it if the submitter could try the alternate workaround with the -server flag. The bug 5107525 is already fixed in our mustang release and can be easily backported to 5.0. ###@###.### 2005-2-22 16:35:20 GMT Am closing as a duplicate of 6208545. ###@###.### 2005-03-01 17:33:44 GMT
