#3889 Buffer switcher locked into Metal L&F

Milestone: severe bug

Status: closed-fixed

Owner: Dale Anson

Labels: None

Priority: 9

Updated: 2014-10-28

Created: 2014-10-26

Creator: Makarius

After the patch #3615177 (see also SVN trunk r23331 "The bufferSwitcher now supports Drag&Drop") the buffer switcher is locked into Metal/Basic Look&Feel. This causes visual oddities with Windows L&F, but somehow works. With Nimbus, there are visual drop-outs (see #3867). With Mac OS X Aqua L&F it is outright unusable due to keyboard problems (see #3864).

Is there an expert on Swing L&F who can explain how to get this right, without hardwiring MetalComboBoxUI, BasicComboPopup into the code?

Are there lucky survivers of Swing L&F hell?

Otherwise jEdit is confined to bare Metal L&F.

Fixed in revision 23708. I removed all the hard-coded look and feel code, dnd should now work across all look and feels and the buffer switcher should look correct in each look and feel.

Dale, please open a merge request for this, it belongs in the 5.2.x branch, wouldn't you agree?

  Yes, I agree. This might fix the other couple of issues Mac users have been
  seeing with Yosemite.
