Request for review: 7155298 : Editable TextArea blocks GUI application from exit (original) (raw)

Hi Sean,

as far as I understand the caret and the timer both come from Swing, thus I wonder why calling removeNotify() on JPasswotrdField/JTextArea doesn't stop the timer? What does Swing expect? It might be some bug in Swing (I hope it is not, but it is better to verify ;)

As for changes I'd suggest to move this additional call (if we decide that this is the right way to fix the problem) into AWTTextArea/AWTTextField.removeNotify() this will help in case we decide to call it in some other place.

Regards, Oleg.

Hi all,

 It is found that when TextArea or TextField is setEditable(true), the application will not exit after the application frame disposes. The reason is the visible caret contains a timer which controls its flashing . This timer must be stopped when disposing.
