Description Jiri Skrivanek 2005-12-22 11:12:04 UTC 
Main menu item state is not changed to enabled when menu was shown first and
action was initially disabled. In that state is for example 'Continue' action
enabled in toolbar and disabled in main menu. It is not correct and moreover it
affects UI automated tests. To reproduce:

- create a java project from template
- add some code and breakpoint to Main.java
- start debugger and immediatelly open 'Run' main menu. You see continue action
is enabled in toolbar but it never gets enabled in menu while mouse cursor is
over 'Run'. If you move cursor somewhere else, it gets enabled.

Build 20051221-0211, JDK1.5.0_06, WindowsXP.

Comment 2 Jiri Rechtacek 2005-12-22 11:52:52 UTC 
Looks as any debugger problem to me. Reassign back if associated to general
actions framework. Thanks
Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2005-12-22 15:57:50 UTC 
The same action is used for the toolbar and for the menu. See
debuggerjpda/ui/src/org/netbeans/modules/debugger/jpda/resources/mf-layer.xml.
Therefore it must be a bug in the menu presenter, since the toolbar is updated
correctly. We call setEnabled(true/false) on that action. It's a
javax.swing.AbstractAction, not SystemAction, if that helps.

Also, I have a feeling that this has worked before, so it might be some
regression...
Comment 4 Jiri Rechtacek 2006-01-18 15:27:25 UTC 
It's reproducible on recent NB5.1 builds. The state menu items are not updated
on-the-fly and doesn't reflect changes of activated object until menu is
re-generated.
Milos, do you know it's designed behavior or bug? Thanks

No current nor future plans to solve this problem. Closed as WONTFIX.
Comment 6 Jiri Skrivanek 2008-08-26 16:35:26 UTC 
Verified.
