| > lay out dialogs correctly This might be specific to X11. The initial size of the window is miscalculated when it first opens and a moment later changes by a few pixels, causing the contents to visually shift slightly. This happens with dialog windows the first time they're opened. > windows do have minimum sizes My mistake, I meant maximum size. > and I haven't seen any focus bugs I was being a bit vague because I've seen lots of different focus bugs on different platforms both decades ago and very recently. For example, it used to be that on Windows, the focus would change to the wrong window if you alt-tabbed too quickly. On X11, very recently, I've ended up in states where the window somehow has focus but not keyboard focus, among other things. In Sun's own Wireless Toolkit (for J2ME development), which was a Swing application, the keyboard navigation didn't work until you opened a dialog window for the first time, after which it started working. |
