[Jalview-discuss] Freeze during sequence id/description edit on Mac

[Jim Procter]

Thanks for the additional info, Rein - and I hope you enjoy the new 
features in 2.5 !

I've just checked and I can't reproduce the hang on my 10.6 mac, or on 
my windows machine, so I'll get back to you in a day or two after I've 
rebooted into 10.5 and checked there.

For now, if you'd like to have a go at updating your java, that might 
solve the problem. I don't have record of any issues regarding 1.5.0_20 
on OSX 10.5, but it could be that moving to java 1.6 will solve the 
problem. If you've kept your java up to date on the mac, then you'll 
have 1.6 installed but it may not be enabled for running applications - 
have a hunt around your System's Java preferences to see how to enable it.

Again, thanks for the bug report - it looks like it might be a nasty one 
to track down, but thats ok!
Jim.
