Hi, I've a little "Quick Launch" JInternalFrame (i.e. just shortcuts to
some often used menu items) with 6 buttons 3 labels on it. Each button has
a listener and throws up another window when clicked. Very occasionally I
click on one of the buttons and the quick launch frame maximises itself!
No idea why, I've set the preferred, max and min sizes, I've even used
setMaximisable(false), not that any of that should matter as I'm not
clicking the (non existent) maximise control!

Thef frame is iconifiable but that doesn't seem to have anything to do
with the problem.

I'm using 1.4.2_08, this never happened in 1.3, anyone had similar
problems? I'd move to 1.5 but the font I use (dialog size 12) looks so
ugly on windows 2000 pro in 1.5 e.g. number 8s look garbled and other
characters look rough too.

any tips?
I've discovered another jinternalframe in my app that does this
consistently.
JInternal frame A has a button that open JInternalFrame B. If A is maximised
when B is opened then B gets maximised as soon as displayed even though it
has an its size set and isMaximisable is false. Then when I click back on A
it gets restored! It's as if the states of the 2 frames get mixed up. It
works fine in the java L&F but not windows. I've had to change B to a
JDialog.
This is ridiculous. The swing compatibility issues between 1.3 and 1.4 and
between java and windows L&F are a disgrace. This is a bug ridden mess.
This project was to upgrade to CORBA from Orbix 3.3.2 to 6.0 (hence the java
upgrade for compatibility) but the vast majority of the work has been
upgrading the client's GUI! 4 weeks solid of just finding one thing after
another that no longer works. I'm starting to like the idea of dot net ...
