Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15585
Notification about active dialog is missing
Last modified: 2003-07-04 14:53:40 UTC
If one opens via GOK a dialog in SO using toolbar, no notification is sent that a dialog is active because "Buttons" and "Toolbar" controls in GOK are still enabled and can be used. Behaviour on menus is correct.
.
The problem is that the dialog is opened on the call stack of the Java AWT EventQueue-Thread, which causes accessibility events to no longer be dispatched until the dialog has been closed. Probably the best way to fix this is to make doAccessibleAction() aynchronous by posting an application event for toolbox items, menu items and push buttons.
TBE->OBR: As discussed, back to you.
Should be fixed in OOo 1.1 RC. => changed target
As a workaround, making actions asynchronously when thread is Java AWT EventDispatcherThread.
Now deligating to another thread when the actual thread is the java AWT EventDispatcherThread.
Please verify.
