display error with drop-down-lists on mac

hi,
today, i first installed agiletrack client 0.8b on my windows box. i just have installed it also on my mac pro. agiletrack can be started, you can create procects, tasks and so on…

there is only one anoying bug: all the drop-down-lists look empty.
either the list is shown behind the drop-down-element or an empty list is shown.
but you can use the cursor to scroll down and choose an option.

more information

java -version tells me:

java version "1.5.0_06"
Java™ 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06–113)
Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 1.5.0_06–68, mixed mode, sharing)

i have installed only the client-version without jre…
is the java.dir file important? will it be enough to set the path in the agiletrack(.sh)? so it will point to /usr/bin/java?

I don't have access to a Mac, so I don't have any way to test for the problem with drop-down lists. Could you put post a link to a screenshot that shows the problem?

The java.dir file is just used to set the JAVA_HOME environment in the launch script. If you just change the script to execute /usr/bin/java instead of $JAVA_HOME/bin/java, that's fine.

here are the screenshots:

shows the complete window, look at the tabs on the left…

in bild2 i clicked on the arrows of the drop-down-field. you can see the "blue" line over the field, it is the "highlight" of the selected element

in bild3 i clicked on the "text" of the drop-down-field, the drop-down-list opens but no text is displayed.

here i have selected a project – you can select all the entries in the drop-down-list but you don't "see" what you marked… so the list elements are there, they are just not displayed.

bild0 shows a standard drop-down-element on mac

the past days i was looking for a software project tool. although this is not a real mac programme, so no integration in iCal and so on, i like the your programme. it looks really great, seems to suit my needs. bug tracking and feature planing… at the moment i use a lot of "offline"-todo-lists on paper but i loose control and overview…

Thanks for the screenshots. I would be great to make it look right with the Aqua look-and-feel, but that would probably be pretty hard to do right now. I think I'll probably force it into the Java's default Metal look-and-feel and it would probably make things more usable. I'll try to get that change into the next release.

if i can help you with this, please let me know.
aqua look would be nice, but if things are working better without it i could life without aqua… i just did a quick google-search. java-cocoa-bridge is deprecated is osx 10.4., don't know whether you used this…
