Re: drag and drop problem between java windows on linux

Luke,

	I am having the exact problem and the latest Java for Linux did not solve the problem. I think the internal window manager is not recognizing the release event at all.

	Is anyone having a similar problem?



Thanks,
Gary

Re: drag and drop problem between java windows on linux

After some searching I believe this post is describing the same issue:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-10/msg00101.html

Was there any resolution?  This is pretty easy to reproduce with the
example given below - it just doesn't seem to recognize the drop event
between the drag and drop between 2 java windows in linux.

Thanks,
Luke

drag and drop problem between java windows on linux

[L H]

I am using xorg-server-1.10.3-1 under Cygwin in Windows 7 64-bit and
have the problem of not being able to drag and drop from 2 different
java windows launched off a linux server box.  I am using Redhat 5.4
as my linux server that I am displaying from.

For example to reproduce the problem:

Launch two java Notepad applications (found in java 1.6 SDK under
demos/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar) to display back to the Windows 7 Cygwin
X Server (using the default internal window manager).

Put some text in one Notepad application and try to perform a drag n
drop to the other Notepad application, it fails.  Copy and paste
works.

Drag n drop inside one notepad works.

Drag n drop using different window managers with the above setup works
(e.g., OpenBox, twm, etc.)

This appears to be another Linux Java related issue similar to the
inset menu problem fixed recently on the internal window manager.  If
I am displaying back QT or GTK windows such as gedit for example then
the drag and drop works between the 2 different windows.

Thanks,
Luke
