Having downloaded the java update posted by apple neither servoy 1.2 nor 2rc3 is usable - all the menus grey out after 1 or 2 switches into designer mode. The only way to get them back is to restart servoy which restores them for a few minutes then they disappear again!
Does anyone know of a solution? Can I revert to earlier java?
I confirm this! Not all menu’s and not as fast as drookwood but for now this is no fun…
This already was an issue for me but now it is even worse
I realise this is an apple/os x issue but having that said it is also an issue for Servoy. Seroy and the last java release don’t like each other.
It is possible to work with servoy although menu’s grey out. When you put the form navigator on top and use forth and back arrows there is not much of an issue until…
After something like two hours. All of a sudden selecting a element A gave me focus on element B etc. A drama.
One lucky thing is that it is still possible to quit the developer but this really is a BIG PROBLEM.
I am also having this problem with Servoy 1.2 in OS X 10.3.2 with a freshly installed java 1.4.2. If only I could have my time over, how I would do things differently… I have had to put buttons for every form in my navigator form in order to allow me to switch. The trouble is that when a menu goes, it seems to take the keyboard shortcuts with it (i.e. when the file menu goes, I can no longer use [Command O] to open the solution again (doing this solved a similar problem for me in the past)…
Worst part of it is that I have promised client I’d install tomorrow, having postponed twice, and it is now taking twice as long to develop.
Any advice or help from the Servoy boys within the next 5 hours (taking me to 5am would be most gratefully received by this unhappy camper..
Look for the Apple release note

Is this problem limited to developer or does it also appear when using a client to access served solution ?

On a brief test today it does not appear to affect client - I ran developer on a machine with java 1.4.1 still installed (fortunately I didn’t upgrade both my boxes) and connected over network from a mchine with java 1.4.2 installed - the client appeared to work normally with no greying out of menus.
As the menus only disappear in developer when you switch in and out of designer (layout) mode I guess the client may not be affected.
Yes I’m getting it all the time. Go in an out of developer mode a few times and you have to restart Servoy developer to do anything - and that is slow.
This bug makes it almost impossible to do any meaningful development in Servoy - and sadly there is no word from the Servoy team. The bug and their lack of any reply or help is really worrying for anyone who want to use Servoy seriously.
By the way the bug is still there in the latest Beta.
I am pretty confident this will be solved in rc5. I have never seen a company being more responsive than Servoy

I am trying to evaluate the Servoy demo on a G5, OS X 10.3.3, java 1.4.2, and can’t aceess some (most) menus in Developer once I go in and out of Designer mode – they’re greyed out. This is making it next to impossible to learn the program and do a proper evaluation. Has there been any further word from the Servoy team on this?

Which version are you using 1.2? Because with 2.0 beta’s and release candidates this is long gone…
Yes, 1.2. That’s what the demo/evaluation version is. If we’re supposed to be running the v2x beta as a demo/evaluation (in part because it resolves the OS X java issue), that could be made a little (much) clearer on the download page and release notes.

My remark was meant to be an answer to your question (and possible doubts) nothing more.
I think the Servoy team does a hell of a job making our life better by providing us with great software and superb response times. Please try the beta (http://developer.servoy.com/generic.jsp … omy_id=251) and be happy
Thank you for your suggestion and opinion. I hope that I will feel the same way about Servoy before long. In the meantime, I would be a little “happier” if I had an evaluation copy that didn’t have menus grayed out. So far I’m still seeing them in the 2.0 beta. Is 2.0 supposed to have resolved this issue?

did you upgrade youre servoy install to 2.0RC9??
Because in that version the grayed out menu’s shouldn’t almost never happen again (only in certain circumstantes we can’t controll)
Yes I did this morning, thanks to some help from Servoy support. It does seems to have resolved the menus issue. I’m looking forward to figuring out how to use the program
