Strange focus issue on Windows XP with tables
I have this issue where if I have my pivot app up and lock my screen (or even
a ctrl+alt+del, followed by just hitting cancel), when I then click in the
table it highlights multiple rows.
After a little bit of playing I noticed this doesn't happen on my Windows 7
box but does on XP. It happens in both Firefox and IE.
I'm using Pivot 1.5 but this happens even if I use the kitchen sink demo on
the pivot site, which I imagine is running 2.0?
Steps to reproduce:
1) on a XP machine launch the kitchen sink application in IE or Firefox
2) drop down the tables example
3) highlight any row
4) ctrl+alt+del and hit cancel when prompted to lock screen
5) click a few rows in the table (now you can highlight as many rows as you
want)
Does anyone else see this???
Thanks!

That is great news. Ruling out browsers just made things a lot simpler.
I will reboot into XP Pro 32 shortly and try again, and will have a
look at some Windows virtual machine images tomorrow.
I *might* be able to knock up a quick Pivot app that just shows the
state of the keyboard, but I can't promise anything as I have a
sizeable TODO list already, and every minute I spend on Pivot is
another minute that I am not looking for a job. It *would* be useful
for troubleshooting purposes though, so is probably worth the effort
if I can fit it in.

That sucks it is not reproducing for you. I dont really know what else to

I just disabled the Welcome Screen to *enable* the CTRL+ALT+DEL
keystroke to bring up the Windows Security dialog with the choice to
lock the screen, log off, shutdown, change password, cancel or launch
Task Manager.
I still can't replicate on Windows XP Pro x64 using
http://pivot.apache.org/demos/kitchen-sink.html
or
http://pivot.apache.org/demos/component-explorer.html

Great. I will soon be stopping for the night, but can follow up
tomorrow or whenever you are able to post some more of your findings.

I'm running XP Pro x64 on a real PC, but have VMware images for
Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro SP3 (32bit) & Win 7 (64 bit). (It is
amazing the licenses you accumulate just buy replacing PCs every few
years)
With VMware workstation, CTRL+ALT+DEL will be processed by the host
(the real PC) as well as the virtual machine. It prompts you about
this and provides a mapping of CTRL+ALT+INSERT that will send
CTRL+ALT+DEL to the virtual machine. That is why I wondered about it
before.

*Tried on multiple XP nodes with same results, mine is:
XP Professional Version 2002, SP3 32bit
On Windows 7 machine (Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64bit)
So I tried it here and sometimes it happens here. I can't figure out why
only sometimes, I'm trying to make it reproducable but no luck so far. I
can never make it not happen on XP though.*

OK, not a problem. The more tests on different OSes, PCs, browsers &
JREs the better, regardless of whether they are home or work PCs. For
instance if you have colleagues who *cannot* replicate this on their
work PCs, then that might tell us something useful.

Thanks for taking the time to follow up with this. We seem to be
making some progress but there are still a few things to confirm or
rule out.
1) Is this limited to Windows XP (and a certain service pack) or can
it be replicated on other Windows versions?
Windows 2000
XP 32/64 bit
Vista 32/64 bit
Win7 32/64 bit
(It might be possible to replicate on other OSes too)
2) Is the browser/applet side of things relevant?
One very useful feature of Pivot is that applications can be written
in such a way as to be runnable as an applet or desktop application
without any code changes. This is true of nearly all of the Pivot
tutorials and demos, and specifically it is true for KitchenSink and
ComponentExplorer.
Is there any chance you can try to replicate the issue using these
demos (and the same XP machine you used for the other tests), but
running them as desktop apps rather than applets from
http://pivot.apache.org/ ?
They are both located in the Tutorials project, and therefore the
tutorials jar file
It is probably easiest to just grab it off the Pivot website & add to
your classpath
http://pivot.apache.org//lib/pivot-tutorials-2.0.jar
If you want/need an older version, you can download the binary
distribution, and extract it from one of the WAR files in the
'webapps' subdirectory.
http://archive.apache.org/dist/pivot/binaries/
apache-pivot-1.5.2.zip -> apache-pivot-1.5.2 -> webapps ->
pivot-tutorials.war -> lib -> pivot-tutorials-1.5.2.jar
3) Is this a Pivot issue or one that can be replicated with non-Pivot
Java apps (assuming the issue is a 'stuck' CONTROL key)
i.e. is the JVM seeing the CONTROL key as pressed, or is it just Pivot
seeing it that way
This can probably be investigated after 2) if the 'stuck' key theory
still seems viable.
The most important thing is to be able to reliably replicate the issue
in order to try to fix it (assuming there is something to fix).

Re: Strange focus issue on Windows XP with tables
Posted by Chris Bartlett <cb...@gmail.com>.
Sorry - no time for a long email right now.
I can reproduce on Windows XP Pro x64 too, but again, only with the
right sided ALT key. (I don't have nearly enough time to start
digging into regional & keyboard settings) Also, I haven't tried
Windows 7 yet.
Pivot does consider the CONTROL key to be pressed once it receives
focus following the cancellation of the Windows dialog raised by
CTRL+ALT+DEL. That is why you see this behaviour on multi select
TableViews and ListViews.
The next keypress that Pivot receives (regardless of which Pivot
Component receives it) will reset the internal keyboard modifier
states, which is the equivalent of releasing the CONTROL key.
The important thing is that I can also replicate it on very simple
Swing & AWT apps, so this is *NOT* just a Pivot issue. I have an idea
for a workaround/fix, but no time to try it out just now.
In the mean time, perhaps try searching the web to see if you can find
any reports of similar issues. Please let us know if you do find any.

Hi all,
I have updated all my VM so I can try the same tests with Pivot-2.0 and
latest 2.0.1 (near final) from trunk, on many platforms and with the latest
Java 6 Update 26 runtime (after maybe I could try even with Java 7 runtime),
but you know I have slow times ... let's update at the beginning on next
week, but in the meantime if there is some news, write here ...
Note on multiple selection:
on List/Table/Tree View components I have done some little fix some time ago
(for the 2.0.1, already committed), so my trouble to check even with latest
sources.
And another small (annoying) thing is present with multi-selection enabled:
the current row selected is temporary deselected (flashing), I have in my
sources the fix but I haven't committed it yet to avoid damage in other
parts ... could be another fix related to the current problem.
For a quick test, you can use the following test applications (in trunk),
running the bxml file with the Pivot Plugin inside eclipse:
multiple_selection_list.bxml
multiple_selection_table.bxml
multiple_selection_tree.bxml
they are under:
tests\src\org\apache\pivot\tests
Bye,
Sandro

This makes it look like you are using the CONTROL and ALT keys on
right hand side of the keyboard (and to the right of the space bar).
Is that the case?
If so, can you please try to use the keys on the left side and see if
you can reproduce the issue?
I just managed to reproduce it (only once so far) using Windows XP
Home SP3 (not a virtual machine) and ComponentExplorer from Pivot 2.0
running as a desktop application. It happened when I was trying to
use the CONTROL and ALT keys on the right of the space bar.
JVM as follows
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
Re: Strange focus issue on Windows XP with tables
Posted by JohnRodey <ti...@yahoo.com>.
I am not using a virtual windows installation, just a standalone windows xp
development box.
I do not have any other browsers to test here, I don't have privedges to
install opera or chrome. I could maybe try at home.
Ok so here is what I did with the component explorer: (I verified the issue
doesn't happen when selectMode is single)
1. Turned off ComponentMouseListener
2. Changed to selectMode MULTI
3. Selected a row
4. Cleared Event Log
5. Ctrl+Alt+Del and cancel
6. Selected a new row (now two rows selected) and Here is my log:
ComponentStateListener focusChanged [...TableView, null]
ComponentKeyListener keyPressed [...TableView, 17, RIGHT]
ComponentKeyListener keyPressed [...TableView, 18, RIGHT]
ComponentStateListener focusedChanged [...TableView, null]
ComponentStateListener focusedChanged [...TableView, null]
*TableViewSelectionListener selectedRangeAdded [...TableView, 14, 14]*
ComponentMouseButtonListener mouseDown [...TableView, LEFT, 311, 268]
ComponentMouseButtonListener mouseUp [...TableView, LEFT, 311, 268]
ComponentMouseButtonListener mouseClick [...TableView, LEFT, 311, 268, 1]
So I think you are absolutely right that pivot thinks the ctrl key is still
pressed because when its behaving it fires this instead:
*TableViewSelectListener selectedRangesChanged [...TableView, ...]*
Your thoughts? Thanks

Re: Strange focus issue on Windows XP with tables
Posted by Chris Bartlett <cb...@gmail.com>.
Could you try with the ComponentExplorer demo?
http://pivot.apache.org/demos/component-explorer.html
1) Expand the 'Tables' node in the left hand TreeView
2a) Select the 'TableView' node
2b) Attempt to replicate using CTRL+ALT+DELETE followed by 'cancel'
(This should help to determine if it still occurs in SINGLE select mode)
3a) Change the 'selectMode' property from 'SINGLE' to 'MULTI' in the
Properties Tab/form in the upper right corner of the app.
3b) Attempt to replicate using CTRL+ALT+DELETE followed by 'cancel'
(This should confirm that the issue can be replicated with this applet
and a TableView that is in MULTI select mode like the ones in
KitchenSink)
It would be great if you could keep an eye on the 'Event Log' Tab in
the lower left of the app, to see what ComponentKeyListener events and
ComponentMouseButtonListener events are fired.
There will be a lot of events shown, but many will not be relevant, so
the best thing would be to un-check most of the listeners in the Tree
that is part of the Event Log.
The ones that might provide useful info are
- ComponentKeyListener
- ComponentMouseButtonListener
- ComponentStateListener
- TableViewSelectionListener
Unfortunately, there is no built in mechanism to log the events to a
file, so even if you are able to do the above, it might be hard to
communicate what you see. Recording a screen cast might also be
useful, but the CTRL+ALT+DELETE might well cause the software to stop
recording at the crucial time.

That makes it sound like perhaps it is something weird happening with
the keyboard.
Maybe something like CONTROL key from CONTROL+ALT+DELETE 'sticking' or
seeming to stick from Pivot's perspective.

OK, so maybe the screen locking part is a red herring and it is more
to do with CTRL+ALT+DEL handling?
Are you are using a non-virtualised XP installation?
ie, a normal install of XP on a PC rather than an installation into a
virtual machine of some kind.

Great, that gives us something to compare against.

That makes me think it is even more likely to be something keyboard related.

Re: Strange focus issue on Windows XP with tables
Posted by JohnRodey <ti...@yahoo.com>.
Just to offer a little more information:
When I try the same thing using the Lists examples in the kitchen sink:
Editable and Checked examples work fine.
Multiselect and Image examples behave like the table.
I'm assuming this is because those two are configured to allow for multiple
items to be selected and the other two are not. But none-the-less here is
another example to test.
Thanks!

Pivot sources (2.0.1 near final now) and tell you something.

Thanks for the fast response and for your help. This issue has been
happening for a while and has finally gotten to me. See my responses below.

*So I have not gone through debugging the Pivot code but it appears as
though it may be a focus issue, but I'm not sure. No, this does not occur
when focus changes to another application and back to the pivot app.*

*No, it appears to behave fine when I use Windows+L. I don't even
technically lock my screen but when I press ctrl+alt+del I get a Windows
security window that asks me what to do (Lock Computer, Log Off, Shut Down,
Change Password, Taask Manager, Cancel), from here I just have to hit cancel
and I see the pivot issue.*

*Sorry, left click and select a row so that it is blue with white
lettering.*

*Yes I see multiple rows being selected, now i can cause multiple rows to go
blue bg with white lettering, and I am not holding shift or ctrl. It
behaves as if I were holding ctrl though.
Here's another wierd thing I'm seeing, once I cause this issue and am
selecting multiple rows, if I hit any button on my keyboard it goes back to
normal. If I hit the letter 'a' or the space bar it stops selecting
multiple and returns to normal. *

Re: Strange focus issue on Windows XP with tables
Posted by Chris Bartlett <cb...@gmail.com>.
I just tried some quick tests on Windows XP 64 SP2 with recent
versions of IE, FF, Chrome & Opera using the Oracle 1.6.0_26 JRE.
I was unable to reproduce, but was only able to lock the screen using WINDOWS+L.
Can you clarify a few things (listed inline) to help in trying to
reproduce this?
The title of the email refers to 'focus', but the body of the email
doesn't seem to mention focus. Does this behaviour also occur if you
simply focus on another Windows application, and then return to the
browser showing the Pivot applet?

Do you see the same effect if you use WINDOWS+L to lock the screen?

Can you provide some version numbers for these browsers, as well as
java version?

Correct, the website is running 2.0

Can you please clarify 'highlight'? Pivot TableViews render rows
differently depending on selection as well as mouse position (mouse
over highlighting).
Do you mean 'move the mouse over a row so that the row is highlighted
in a grey colour'?
Or maybe, 'left click on a row to select it so that it is rendered
with a blue background and white foreground (when it has focus)'?
> 4) ctrl+alt+del and hit cancel when prompted to lock screen

Do you mean that you see multiple rows being selected/highlighted
(depending on your meaning of highlighted)?
Both of the TableViews in the KitchenSink demo are configured in multi
select mode, so multiple selections are allowed. However the
selection should only be changed to include/exclude the clicked row if
the CONTROL key is pressed, or a range of rows if SHIFT is pressed.
