FileChooser error with msg "trouble connecting to server" #8

Open rschmunk opened 9 years ago

I started using this fork of Quaqua in a couple apps earlier this year, and specifically the FileChooser jar and libs. There generally has been no problem. However, one user recently reported that the filechooser was acting very badly on his OS X 10.10 computer. Specifically, whenever he clicked in the chooser's file listing there would be a very long pause, and then error dialog would pop up saying "There was a problem connecting to the server ’10.10.1.11’" (see attached image). Navigating to the specific directory where the file he wanted was located was extremely painful.

Building my app without Quaqua so that the filechooser is just the standard chooset, the user had no difficulty at all.

So my question is whether anyone else has ever encountered this particular problem? If so, any idea what was causing it and were you able to fix or work around it?

I've had one user report this issue with macOS 10.13. I'm unable to reproduce it though. Removing the native libraries is a workaround.

FWIW: I stopped using Quaqua some time ago and have been using a JNI dylib of my own devising since then. Recently I have been looking at switching over to the JavaFX filechooser, which looks pretty good on a Mac but has some other issues that I haven't been able to resolve yet.
