tcMenu: [macOS 14 JDK issue] Cannot open any project

Hi @davetcc just noticed that on Mac M1 OS 14.1.1 I can no longer open any project. It’s like any window other than the main is blocked.

To reproduce, just open TC Menu Designer v 4.1.2 go to File->Open and then nothing happens. Same with File->Save Project As and so forth.

I had a look on the Console and this is what I see:

Can you reproduce at all? Hopefully Apple didn’t break it with the last update!

For CLI see https://www.thecoderscorner.com/products/arduino-libraries/tc-menu/tcmenu-cli-workflow/.

Basically, first setup terminal to path in the tcmenu command as in the link above, then use tcmenu gui in the directory with the emf, it will start with that project loaded.

I think there is already a JDK 21 critical patch, but I don’t think it includes a fix for this, I need to check and work out if it is fixed yet.

Open menus from the CLI until it is fixed. See the documentation on the CLI.
