DrRacket 7.7 / MacOS 10.13.6 Menu Functionality MIA #386

Open paschlie opened 4 years ago

paschlie commented 4 years ago

The following functionality is not working with v7.7 (and may be related to the fact I'm using an older macos version noted above), but remains working properly with v7.6:

the "File / Open Recent >" menu selection shows nothing (no file history)
the "View / "blank" cmd-/=" menu selection shows no text describing the selection's behavior (was expecting it to show "Decrease/Increase Font Size")
the "Windows /" menu selection shows nothing (was expecting "Minimize ... Various Tabs/Windows options")

(sorry, I don't have access to a mac running a more recent os version to test it.)

Sorry, the problem appears to have fixed itself (possibly some data structure needed to be first updated when the app was closed, as it now works as expected).

Those on-demand menu updates are timing-sensitive. If something takes too long, then the update is abandoned — which is not great. If you see this often, then we should probably revisit. I don't have a real fix (because it's a deep mismatch between racket/gui eventspaces and the Cocoa event model), but possibly the timeout could be tuned.

This is recurring for me I don’t have a solution yet. But I’ll log my notes. It happens for 8.2 cs & bc , as well as the nightly My marching is an 9y old Mbp ssd/dual core i7 8gb . It’s also an old version of macOS as it doesn’t get updates.
