IgnitionDesigner cannot be cast to javax.swing.JComponent

When I am in the designer using preview mode and click a component in the project browser I receive the following error message. all components will cause the error except the window and the root container.

This problem was fixed in 7.5.3. Upgrading will solve the problem.

Same thing for me, but I'm getting this in 7.5.4

This is working fine for us with 7.5.4.

Just found this thread and wanted to let you know that i see the same on 7.5.5-beta 5 on windows. It happens on a system using Java 1.6.37. On another machine running Java 1.7.9 i don’t get an exception but selecting a component in the nav tree does nothing while in preview mode.

James.Lorenz · December 19, 2012, 7:11pm

Yeah, I can confirm that this exception is being thrown in the latest version of Ignition. I’ll put in a bug ticket for this issue.

Carl.Gould · March 14, 2013, 5:38pm

Oops - this post slipped my net. This was fixed (for real this time) in 7.5.6.
