MegaWizard Plugin Manager becomes unresponsive

[TMich2]

Version 18.1.0 Build 625 09/12/2018 SJ Lite Edition (Linux) on Ubuntu 18.04 is working until:

• Select IP Catalog using PLL as a search,
• Select ALTPLL, the megaWizard Plugin Manager pops up,
• change inclk0 value, the dialog locks up. Any user input locks up the GUI

So far I can see you only try on PLL. Can you try other megawizard? this can narrow down to see if it only cause by PLL only.

[TMich2]

OK, will try several others.

Try do not resize MegaWizard window.

I had same problem with some.

[TMich2]

Seems that most MegaFunction do lockup at some point,when an input changes the dialog size. I did try LPM_MUX, changed the number and was allow to progress to the next screen, but locks up after that.

Make sure your Java is up-to-date.

[TMich2]

Have the openkdk installed: openjdk 10.0.2 2018-07-17

If the window is enlarged in the horizontal direction there is no lockup.

Not jdk, Java: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Hi, can you make sure the below? 1.Install Java from Oracle. Java version after install is: java version "1.8.0_121" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode) 2. Try to install Quartus in a directory path that has no uppercase letters. 3. Right after Megawizard is opened, stretch the window out a little (drag a corner) and make it so scrolling is not necessary. 4. make sure when you launch quartus, there are no error message showing lib is missing. I was able to duplicate the hang when use workaround 3, it works.

Agreed, if it is resized before any input is done there is no lockup. That was my reply 15 days ago...
