Started a 5.5.1 project using a Matisse form. Several sets of JPopupMenus on the form - typical Add/Remove Item options on the menu. After opening the project in 6.0 M10, the JPopupMenus lost all sub-components - i.e. the JMenuItems. Event handlers for the missing menu items were still present (along with the custom code), but all references within the form (via Object Navigator) were missing. The JPopupMenus were attached to multiple JTables - which still had a reference to the now empty menus.
I'm not able to reproduce - when I create a form with some popup menus in 5.5, all is present in current 6.0 dev. Could attach here the project or at least the form (bot .java and .form files) that works fine in 5.5 but not in 6.0? You can also send it to me directly if you want to keep it private. Thanks
I've tried the original form where the problem happened, but it worked. Neither the reporter was able to reproduce the problem again. There seems to be no clear defect in importing popup menus from 5.5 to 6.0, this must have been something else or quite specific. Please reopen this issue if you ever run into the same problem. Thanks.
