[abbot-users] Abbot displays small modal window prior to running tests under Eclipse

[Alistair I. <ai...@gm...>]

Hi, list. New Abbot user here.

I'm running Abbot 1.0.0rc2 under Eclipse 3.1, running JDK 1.5.0_05 on
OS X 10.4.5.

I created a ComponentTestFixture to test my custom component. My issue
is when I run the test, first a small, almost invisible (about 4
pixels square) window appears near the top left of my screen that
'grabs' the mouse and locks it onto the window area.

This window refuses to go away until I manually click the mouse. Only
then will the rest of the test continue and the component is tested
normally (well, almost - but that's a separate issue).

I was wondering whether:
a) Is this 'normal'? I would think I should be able to run my test
fixtures without having to manually click anything.

b) Is there some workaround to this, whether or not it's normal?

As added detail - I noticed that the window appears even if all I do
is extend ComponentTestFixture and run it as a JUnit test under
Eclipse. At this point, I haven't created or even loaded=20
ComponentTester, or called showFrame() or showWindow().

Thanks!
