Failed to post MouseMove event.

I get the following exception when trying to run our windowtester tests

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to post MouseMove event.
at com.windowtester.runtime.swt.internal.selector.PopupMenuSelector2.invokePopup(PopupMenuSelector2.java:136)

Log includes

!MESSAGE post of event (Event {type=5 null time=0 data=null x=58 y=57 width=0 height=0 detail=0}) failed --- retrying [1/30]

!MESSAGE max retries (30) exceeded, giving up on posting: Event {type=5 null time=0 data=null x=58 y=57 width=0 height=0 detail=0}


I'm using Windows 7 (64 bit), Eclipse 3.5, Windowtester 3.9. Works for my collegue with Vista (probably lot's of other differences in our setups of eclipse, windowtester etc as well), I have yet to try on another Windows 7 machine.

Any ideas?

Is this consistent? And what happens in playback? Is this just logging output/noise or does the test fail?

Happens every time, so very consistent.
Changed to a trial of Windowtester 5.0.1,
did a record/playback of a newly created and empty Eclipse Application, just recording a click on Package Explorer tab

IUIContext ui = getUI();
ui.click(new CTabItemLocator("Package Explorer")); // Line 27

Got this exception, nothing exciting in the console log

com.windowtester.runtime.WaitTimedOutException: Max retry period (30000 milliseconds) exceeded.

And yes, the test fails.

Setup
Eclipse 3.5.2
WindowTester Runtime 201004081534
OS: Windows 7, amd64, 6.1
Java: BEA Systems, Inc., 1.6.0_14

Seems I can't even run the most basic awt.Robot things on my machine

java.awt.Robot robot = new java.awt.Robot();
robot.mouseMove(200, 200);

Investigating this, withdrawing my question from this forum for now.

Sounds good. Keep us posted!
