Description Tim Kneafsey 2015-11-05 10:21:50 CST
Two issues -
1. dialog boxes that are blank except for the "ok" or other buttons
Even when starting FIJI, I get a blank dialog box because I have a duplicate plugin. If I click outside of FIJI, the text in the box often appears. It becomes confusing when I have many windows open and don't know what FIJI is trying to communicate to me. This makes FIJI difficult to use (although I keep trying) and I switch to ImageJ which normally works and I can read the dialog boxes.

Interestingly even when trying to submit this bug report I got a blank dialog box which I later found out told me the submission failed.

2. Sync Windows often gets a step behind.
When I have synced windows, often if drawing a rectangle in one window, it will draw in the others but not the target window. Sometimes clicking outside of FIJI corrects this. Often, particularly if my computer sleeps, the synced windows command is very problematic. If it allows me to select a line or rectangle, it seems to cause blank histograms, and blank profiles. It applies the magnifying glass tool nonuniformly across the windows, apparently does not allow use of selecting tools (rectangles, ellipses, lines...). Sync Windows is problematic in FIJI and ImageJ.
