menus missing

we installed a version of our solution at a client site
today, and when we started servoy, most of the menus were
missing - on two different machines.

the only menu that shows is the “Servoy” menu; none
of the others, file, edit, view, select, etc., appeared.

help would be appreciated.

servoy 2.0.3 build 267
mac os-10.3

Is there a dialog showing? Apple tends to turn menu’s off if for example the open dialog is showing, once you open a solution the menu’s reappear. If that is not the case: can you try Servoy 2.1 to see what that gives?

jan:

we found out last nite how to reproduce the problem:

  1. start servoy (no need to open a solution)
  2. minimize the widnow (on the mac, it goes
    into the doc)
  3. show servoy’s about box (or preferences
    to show the preferences dialog)
  4. click ok to close the about box (or cancel
    to close the preferences box)

suddenly, servoy’s main window reappears,
with no menus. actually, the window you’re
seeing isn’t real: you can’t do anything with
it, or close it.

in truth, servoy’s main window is still in the
dock, and can be re-opened by clicking on it’s
icon in the doc. once this is done, the menus
reappear.

We’ll investigate if we can do something about it. It appears to be a problem with the way Apple’s Java handles windows. I recommend to also file a bug report with apple at:
