#9863: [FileTypes] Looper must be locked ----------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: diver | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Kits/Interface Kit | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: 10020, 10143 Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ----------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by anevilyak): I'm afraid I don't really have anything to add beyond what the commit message said. As stated, in the case of the mouse preflet, an event mask is used so that the preflet live updates when the user clicks mouse buttons, regardless of whether the preflet has focus or not. However, without the above changeset, attempting to select anything from the menu fields results in a no-op as described, i.e. the menu item never gets invoked. It'd seem some other means would need to be found to fix that issue without causing the current one, but as it is right now, I'd have no idea how to go about that, as I haven't touched the menu code at all in the intervening 2 years, and consequently don't really remember any of it, apart from it being quite convoluted/hairy. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9863#comment:12> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
