Menu not showing, even though isVisible() says true [message #447004]

I have a JFrame embedded in an editor, and I'm wrapping calls that used
to show JPopupMenus to SWT and wanting a Menu to popup. I've got the
thread accesses all set, but this is what happens:
When I create a Menu, I have to choose a parent. I set the parent to
be the composite that the JFrame embeds in. The first time I click on
the particular object, I route the request for the popup to SWT and show
a Menu. That displays. If I right click again at the same spot, debug
printouts show the request coming all the way again, the location is
right, the same code, and I even call Menu.isVisible() and it says true
after I call setVisible(true), but the Menu is nowhere to be found. Any
ideas?

Thank you,
Eddie

Can you elaborate?

Thing is, I don't want the popup menu to be triggered based on mouse
events as seen by SWT; the Swing JFrame has its own stuff, and what I've
done is when a JPopupMenu would be showing (the library being used has
special events for that), I route the call to SWT and want to show a
popup menu then.

Are you sure it still has some MenuItems at the second hit?
If it has none, I guess setVisible(true) would succeed but
you wouldn't see anything?

Certain.

This may be interesting to note also: A menu listener receives
menuShown in the first case when it actually shows. In the second case,
where the menu says its visible but doesnt show, no menuShown event is
ever received.

Even though isVisible() says that a control is visible, the control might
not actually have painted until you get back to the event loop. This may be
what you are seeing with menus. You'll need a stand alone snippet so that
we can debug this.
