Awesome. I’ll update libgdx next week, which should gain you a few more testers on OSX. Thanks for all the hard work!

#3

Thank you for the lwjgl!

And thank you for the libgdx update!

#4

You said this twice, I suppose it’s extra important!

#5

Oh sweet baby Jesus yes.
Does it still have the drawing issues with menus that drop down? Right now I had to throw in some hacky crap to make it clear the spot where the menu was.

You can use Display.isDirty() to determine when such a repaint is required. It works fine with both JMenus and JPopupMenus. Something that didn’t make it to 2.9 and will appear in the next nightly build is that LWJGL will now properly close any open menus when you click on the canvas.

#7

Do the menus still appear under the lwjgl canvas?

I wanted everything to work with jre7 so I was using the nightly builds but they broke a whole lot of other things. Fixed focus issues with java 7 but got the menu item issues back.

#8

No, the menus appear above the LWJGL display.
