[ JDK VERSION : other ] If you right click on a Swing component in Matisse that has a "font" property (like a JLabel) and select Properties it will allow you to type in the value field, but the value will not be applied to the "font" property. The Property editor should be modified to accurately parse out changes to the value field or the value field should not be editable. The current behavior is misleading. The user things that they can modify the value using this field, and then the changed value is not applied. Other properties, such as "text" or "alignmentX" allow the property to be edited in this field and the changed value is actually applied to the Swing component. Steps to Reproduce --------------------- Create a New Java Application Select File -> New File Select Swing GUI Forms -> JFrame Form Drag a JLabel onto the form Right-click on the JLabel and select Properties Modify the value next to the font property Click the Close button The value is not applied to the font property Tester Platform --------------- Mac OS X 10.4.9 $ java -version java version "1.6.0-dp" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-dp-b88-34) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b88-17-release, mixed mode, sharing)
Reporter, please, don't user core category as a general purpose category. This issue is obviously a form category issue. Reassigning.
