Re: [Mars-sim-developers] Modal JInternalFrame Issue

[manny k. <man...@gm...>]

Hi Scott/Lars,

It turns out the JTextField issue is NOT ModalInternalFrame-related since
the address url JTextField in BrowserJFX doesn't work as well.

This only happens in linux.

btw, I meant solTF in ResupplyMissionEditingPanel, not in
ModifyTransportItemDialog.
