Hey, thanks for using MV :) I also read your bug report for AltTab and I am going to provide some additional info there as well for the developer.
To answer your questions:
Thanks @derreisende77 for this swift reply.
I'm sorry to hear about all those issues regarding communication with Oracle. This is a good testament to give Oracle a wide berth.
Feel free to close this issue now that we know the bundle id is stable and @lwouis hardcoded it into the AltTab blacklist.
If you don't mind, the changelog/release notes could be updated to remove the note or reflect that AltTab should be fine now (as soon as the new version is released).
If you can leave me a message when the issue got resolved I will put it in the release notes for the next version. then i will close the issue
I just released AltTab v6.15.1. It contains the workaround which will fix the issue with MediathekView 👍
That being said, you may want to keep this ticket pinned on Github, or find another way to inform your users about the issue. While people on the latest version of AltTab will have the fix, users who won't update for a while will still be affected, unfortunately. So you may want to write "MediathekView is not compatible with versions of AltTab before 6.15.1".
I gave it a quick test and can confirm that MV works with the latest release so far without freezes and other problems :) I will add the notice to our changelog and write a info post on our forum that the problems are solved. And I will keep AltTab installed on my machine 😄
Hi all,
thanks for creating MediathekView. I only use it less than once a month, but it's always a pleasure. Except yesterday and that's why I'm writing here 😉
On your Release Website as well as your Changelog you mention issues with AltTab. I also noticed those issues which was the reason I checked the website in the first place.
I created an issue in the AltTab project: https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/issues/822 and @lwouis (creator of AltTab) did a great analysis: The issues happens in
JavaFxUtils.invokeInFxThreadAndWait
(which even mentions in its docs it may cause deadlocks). Deeper down, it seems to be hanging in doAWTRunLoopImpl. See https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/issues/822 for more details including a call-stack. The root cause seems to be https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8214209.So, three requests from my side to MediathekView:
Thanks in advance for your support and thanks again for MediathekView!
