Bug - Fixed Changing Choice Adventure Setting Freezes Mafia

I took a look at this a while ago and came up empty. The offending item is ChoiceOptionsPanel.OceanDestinationComboBox and its associated listeners. It's particularly gnarly to debug due to the livelock.
 
I suspect it is because that combo box changes one of its entries on the fly; when you say "choose destination...", it prompts you for where to go, and it saves that custom destination in a "go to xxx,yyy" entry. So, you select the entry, which fires the action listener, which pops up a dialog and then rebuilds the menu - all while the action listener is still active.

This has never failed for me with the Java shipped with OS X, but, apparently other Java versions aren't quite so robust.

Feel free to figure out another way to do it that has the same net effect and doesn't fail on some Javas. :)
 
OK. Try revision 9835. This will force the popup menu of the combo box to close before presenting the dialog to choose a destination.

I have no idea if that will make things better for those of you who saw this issue. Try it and report back.

As far as I know, that is the most up-to-date version.

r9835 still hard freezes.

It works perfectly for me.

I throw up my hands. I have no clue why it doesn't work for you.
 
I really wish you could reproduce it. I've started a debug log and replicated the problem, but all it says before freezing is

I get this with nearly 100% reliability following the steps in post #11.
 
I tried and tried and tried and failed to replicate the issue.

Try revision 10291, which uses my current knowledge of Swing and listeners to simplify the code for that Combo Box. Maybe it will magically work for you.
 
Sadly, this did not fix the bug. Your inability to replicate the bug must have something to do with me using Windows and you using a Mac.

No other choice adventure causes this problem! Is the code for this adventure really that different?

Perhaps you could put in lines that would print out something to the debug log if I turned on debug logging? With some debug statements we could at least home in on where the problem occurs...

It is a custom combo box that adds a new menu item when you select the "choose destination" menu item. About the only other difference I can see is that it sets the selected index in the combo box from the preference when it creates the combo box, rather than later after it has actually been installed in the frame.

Revision 10294 defers loading the preference and selecting the menu item until after the frame is constructed and every other preference is also loading preferences and setting selected index. If this doesn't work, I have no idea where to go from here.
 
I did some google-ation on JComboBox ActionEvent callbacks and Swing freezes. I gleaned that doing "too much" in callback is a Bad Thing. In the OceanDestinationComboBox, we are saving a couple of properties. That does disk I/O. I suspect that, on your system, that is "too much".

Revision 10301 moves all the property setting out of the Action callback. The one place where it seemed unavoidable is now done in a separate Thread.

It works, same as always, for me. Tell me how it works for you.
