Hello,

Things have been working fine on Windows so far, but I'm having problems with the DateCellEditor component under Linux (with GNOME 3).
The calendar window never shows up when the user requests it. Instead, I'm having this NullPointerException :

java.lang.NullPointerException

Specifically, the popupShell field is null, but it shouldn't be at this point.
It seems it lost focus before even showing up. I've noticed the onDispose() method is called before the exception happens, here's the stack at the breakpoint when it's nullified:

I don't know what to do here, it works properly on Windows so clearly there's a problem with a Linux-specific behavior, and my own code is never involved in this.

Thanks.

The DateTime composite is not a very stable one in SWT. IIRC I have even created a ticket years ago because of null handling and rendering the text when it is focused without any response.

As the issue is not NatTable related you need to ask on the SWT forum. At least it looks like this.

Or use our Nebula Extension that contains the CDateTime editor which might behave better.
