Hi
Oxygen 8.0 on Mac G4, Macos 10.3.9
I can't tie this one down to a set of circumstances, but since I looaded 8.0 Oxygen, it sometimes freezes completely, the only way out is Force Quit.
This has happened about 10-12 times in all. The simplest (at least twice) is when I have nothing else running (i.e. apps.) and start up Oxygen from the dock. All seems to go well, up comes the window with the last file I accesssed loaded. Then I can do nothing. The pull-down menus display, but there is no action, not even quit oxygen.
If I force quit Oxygen and re-start, it has so far always worked the second time.
On other occasions (perhaps 8 of them), when I leave Oxygen up and do something else, I come back to find Oxygen frozen.
I can start up other applications while this is going on and they all work normally, no problems.
Sorry I haven'y been able to tie this down, it appears (at present) to be random, but I'm sure it's not (it never is!)
Has anyone else seen this?
Can anyone suggest anything to help?
I never had this problem before 8.0.

Hello,

What is the Java version available on your OS X 10.3.9 ? It is available in Help -> About -> System properties -> java.vm.version. Start oXygen from a Terminal with a command
executed in the oXygen install folder. Is any message displayed in the Terminal when oXygen freezes ?

java.vm.version 1.4.2-56

Haven't been able to get it to hang after 6 starts from shell - it never has performed to order. Tried various combinations of other activity.

It could be a problem with the JavaApplicationStub launcher located in the MacOS folder of the Oxygen bundle. Open the Oxygen bundle by Meta + click on the Oxygen icon in Finder, select Show Package Contents and go into the MacOS folder, replace the JavaApplicationStub file with /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub and start Oxygen again by double clicking the Oxygen icon in Finder.

Done that. Oxygen starts OK, no problem.
I'll keep watching, if it does it again I'll notify on this thread
many thanks
