Describe the bug
I've encountered an issue within VisualVM with a message telling me where to find the log file:
Check the logfile for details (use Help | About | Logfile).
That path is not correct on macOS. VisualVM on macOS does have a "Help" menu, but that only brings up a search box to look through the help documentation. The real log file location is under "VisualVM" -> "About VisualVM" -> "Logfile."
To Reproduce
Induce an error in VisualVM somehow (#310 is how I did it).
Expected behavior
While I think it can be expected that people understand the menu layout on macOS is different than other platforms, the fact that there is a "Help" menu in VisualVM makes the issue a bit confusing.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: macOS 11.3.1
- VisualVM: Build 210504
