Safari Problem

Hi everybody,





we've encountered a little problem when using Marvin in Safari on Mac. The applet included in your demo page http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/sketch/index.jsp freezes/hangs when some menus are opened, e.g. File/Open or Help/About.





We observed this behaviour for Mac OSX 10.5.5, Safari 3.2.1 (5525.27.1) with Java 1.5.0_16.





For Max OSX 10.4.11, Safari 3.1.2 (4525.22) with Java 1.5.0_16 everything works fine.





Can you help us?





Best regards





Helge

Hi!





Thank You for the bug report. We will check it.





Best Regards,

It is a Safari specific bug that appears only in partial cases under OS X 10.5.


If JavaScript was invoked from the applet, opening any dialog window from the applet hangs Safari.


This bug does not appear in Firefox on the same platform.


The bug may connect somehow to the Mac L&F. This problem occurs only with OS X (Aqua) Look and Feel.


If you set the L&F of the applet to Metal by startup, dialogs will display fine (without browser freezing).


I suggest the following temporary workaround:


Specify L&F for your applet by applet parameter:

Code:

msketch_param("skin","javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");

Hi Tamas,





thanks for your help - this seems to work very well.
