This seems to only happen when the authentication dialog appears. If the auth dialog does not appear, the menus are fine.

Hey Chad,
This sounds like bug#4247. Is null being passed in as first param to a showConfirmDialog or a showMessageDialog?

This is indeed a problem with the JDialog not having a parent. I am working on a solution to get the parent from the currently open tableaux. I have a question in to Christopher to try to find a solution.

Here is the current code that does not quite work:

Iterator effigy = directory.entityList(Effigy.class).iterator();
    Tableau t = null;
    System.out.println("looking for effigy");
    if (effigy != null && effigy.hasNext()) 
{
      Effigy e = (Effigy)effigy.next();
      t = e.showTableaux();
    }
    //...call t.getFrame() and pass that to the auth dialog.

This does not work because it opens a new tableau. We just need a reference to the one that is already open.

Ok, I got this fixed. The key was to get the graphTableau from the ModelDirectory, from which you can then get the Frame. Here's the code for future reference:

//find the parent tableau to use as the parent for this dialog
    Iterator effigy = directory.entityList(Effigy.class).iterator();
    Tableau t = null;
    while (effigy.hasNext()) 
{
      Effigy e = (Effigy)effigy.next();
      t = (Tableau) e.getEntity("graphTableau");
      if(t != null)
  {
        break;
      }
    }

controllingDialog = new JDialog(t.getFrame());
