(288/308) 1880 - LatextTools is creating gui components in a background thread

I have ContextMenu plugin set to show me an extra menu just before the Help menu depending on what mode I am editing.
This is broken in Substance L&F.
Also, I can't see a Help menu in the main menubar.
Lots of exceptions are thrown in the activity log.

What theme are you using in Substance? I assume you're using the latest Look and Feel plugin (1.9.0) and latest Substance plugin (7.3.1)? I don't see the error you're reporting at all, the ContextMenu menu shows up in the main menu bar just to the left of the Help menu when I switch to a buffer with the right mode, and the Help menu is visible at all times. I'm using Substance with the Graphite theme.

The exception is telling the right story, LatextTools is creating gui components in a background thread rather than on the event dispatch thread. If I dock the LatexTool dockables, I do see the ContextMenu appear in the main jEdit menu bar and I still see the Help menu. I also see all the errors, though.

2017-06-20 21:57:09.497000 daleanson	Renamed this issue since the bug is actually located in LatexTools rather than ContextMenu or Substance.
