Description Artur Schmidt CLA 2010-06-23 04:15:59 EDT 
DatePickerComposite does not close on the first click on a date if the previous/next month buttons were used before the click. Sometimes it takes 2, 3 or 4 clicks to finally close it. The number of necessary clicks seems also to depend on how many times the month buttons were clicked.

Could you record a short flash (.swf) video of this and attach it here? I recommend using the free Jing software for that (http://www.jingproject.com/)

My gut feeling is that the bug could be because of some workaround code I've added for Vista. In Vista the native date picker has the ability to zoom in / out if clicked at certain places. So I've added some code to not hide the picker if clicked there....

Since I don't have any XP machines, the video would help...

Yep, the widget is different on Vista. I will add a workaround for XP.

@Steffen/Artur: please run this Snippet and paste the output here:

public class Version {
	public static void main(final String[] args) {
		System.out.println(String.format("os.version: '%s'", System.getProperty("os.version")));
		System.out.println(String.format("os.name: '%s'", System.getProperty("os.name")));
	}
}

os.version: '5.1'
os.name: 'Windows XP'
Comment 5 Elias Volanakis CLA 2010-06-25 14:19:27 EDT 
I've fixed this for Windows by adding different strategies for XP or earlies vs Vista or later. It's likely not 100% pixel perfect but should work reasonably well.

@Christian / MacUsers: If I had a screenshot of the DatePicker on Mac, I could adjust the calculations for that as well. Could you send me one?   (You can use SnippetDateTextRidget003. The lower text field opens a DatePicker)

@Christian: please try on the mac and close if it works...

(should be ok on windows)
