Description

Describe the bug
When I have installed various tracer plugins, such as Tracer-Monitor Probes and Tracer-JVM Stats Probes, when i click on the various group names such as JIT Compiler or Garbage Collectors to display the individual probes, the UI doesn't always respond and open or close the items. I need to click multiple times, which differs from twice to many more. It is not consistent.

I have tried on Linux and it is responsive all the time.
Have not tried on Windows.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Install any of the tracer probes
  • Open any JVM process such as VisualVM
  • Click the tracer tab
  • Click on any of the high level areas to open/close
  • Response from the UI is not consistent

Expected behavior
I Expect that the UI will respond and open / collapse the elements consistently.

VisualVM log
Nothing relevant in log

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on macOS Ventura with VisualVM 2.1.6, JDK 17.0.2, and a tracer plugin such as Tracer-Monitor Probes or Tracer-JVM Stats Probes. Start at the tracer tab's group expansion and collapse handling; done means groups such as JIT Compiler and Garbage Collectors open and close reliably on each click.
