Yourkit menus are not responsive on MacOS / Java 8u152

Post by amirshalem »

Yourkit menus are not responsive on MacOS 10.12.6, and when I have Java 8u152 installed.

For example, opening the app and clicking the "Help, Check for Updates" does not work
also "Settings, CPU Sampling" fails.

When I uninstall Java 8u152 by doing `sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_152.jdk` it started to work again (then the java its using is Java 8u144)

I'm guessing its some kind of bug in Java 8u152 since it broke something, but maybe you should consider trying to fix it from your side as well.

Hi,

Thank you for reporting the issue. We'll check.

Is the problem also reproducible with Java 8u151?

Best regards,
Anton

Update: what we've found so far:

Java 8u152 is indeed broken, we don't know yet why, something's definitely wrong in this Java update. We're investigating.

Java 8u151 works just fine.

Update 2: It seems that the problem is only reproducible with the Mac-style menu bar.

Does adding -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=false in ~/.yjp/ui.ini solve the problem for you?

amirshalem,

we've just released v2017.02b67 which fixes issue with macOS on screen menu.
