Hi.
Occasionally I also get the "thrashing effect" that you are mentioning,
Charlie, but only in recoding mode.
In my case the dialogs that are flashing are one of my own dialogs,
extensions of JFace Dialog, and the AGR control box. The rapid
flickering of both boxes starts as soon as the JFace based dialog box is
produced and it eventually subsides, allowing me to continue with my
recording.
Nothing untoward is generated in either the test script or the object
mine and the test case be played back successfully.
The funny thing is that it does not happen *every* time one of my
dialogs is displayed.
Any idea anyone what the problem might be?
TIA,
B.

Hi Barbara,
The thrashing starts when my dialog is display; but it doesn't subside.
Thanks

Hi Charlie,
This could be caused by one of two reasons:
1) The Window Manager is confused about where the controller dialog was
during recording. It always will attempt to place the controller on top of
any new shells and it is giving it focus and then when the user tries to
select the dialog, losing focus and then trying to give focus back to the
controller, thus the 'thrashing' or flicker.
2) A SWT defect where the activate and deactivate events are not getting
fired correctly as we rely on these events to guide the process.
Please open an AGR defect
( https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=TPTP%20T esting and
Test.Execution.AutoGUIRunner) to investigate this problem further. In the
meantime, I would suggest trying another AGR/SWT version to determine if
this problem is version specific.

Hi Paul.
I think your first reason is the most likely for myself, especially
since I see the problem typically when I change desktop in the middle of
a test (I have a number of virtual desktops and have to move between the
one in which I am doing the test and another in order to launch some
background activity that is needed for my test). The flickering occurs
when I return to the test desktop and a dialog is produced. I normally
click within the controller dialog, to give it focus without affecting
my test, and the flickering stops.
Thanks,
B.

I launch an Eclipse application from the Run menu. This version of
Eclipse contains menu(s) that my code adds to the Eclipse menu bar.
When I select a menu item, the problem begins.
