Hi all, When I right click on some molecules I get a yellow exclamation mark at the top right of the menu, just beside "Model 1/1". I was just wondering what that was and if there was something wrong could I fix it? Thanks, Graeme |

That's the new Java compromise for a popup menu. It's a warning that the applet pulled up a menu. Apparently applets have been or could be used to completely fake a screen using a popup menu (a log in screen, for example), and this is better than disallowing popup menus entirely (as was the case in one or two subversions of Java at one point). Enjoy it.

Hi Graeme That's imposed by Java (from some 1.6.x version onwards), I understand to avoid people use Java to make fake dialog boxes. A security measure for popup menus/windows. Nothing you can do to avoid it, and it will depend on which version of Java your users have installed. I can assure you, it was worst before (a flashing yellow border around all the popup). In the first implementation, they just disallowed the popup menu altogether. I think that Bob fought against it with the Java technical people, and this is what they produced. |

It wasn't really a fight. They pretty quickly realized that applets needed popup windows and came up with that solution in short order as a compromise. 2009/10/9 Angel Herráez <ang...@ua...> > Hi Graeme > > That's imposed by Java (from some 1.6.x version onwards), I understand to > avoid people > use Java to make fake dialog boxes.
