[ BUILD # : 201306062301 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_21 ] I have the issue that dialogs are not painted correctly on Gnome 3/Linux/Nvidia graphics hardware. (Not tested on other machines... yet) The issue can lead to the assumption that f.e. the installer is stuck, in fact it is finished only the dialog is not (re)painted. When I click somewhere in the dialog it gets repainted in that area. Switching to other virtual desktops or putting a another window above the dialog does not help with the repainting. This seems to be especially triggered when a paint occurs while working on a different virtual desktop. (F.e. start installer, check mail on other desktop, switch back - dialog does not get repainted.)
Created attachment 135528 [details] stuck installer window after clicking randomly inside the dialog You can see that the area around the mouse is repainted when I clicked. Resizing immediately leads to correct painting.
Created attachment 135534 [details] Same on intel graphics card / Ubuntu 13.04 with Gnome 3 Notice how the "next" button is displayed correctly but the remainder of the dialog is frozen in time.
Created attachment 135535 [details] editor window missing elements which appear on mouse-over this is from the main editor window - it does not happen only in the installer. May be a generic JRE/Swing issue?
Reporter, is this happening also in a plain Swing app? E.g. SwingSet demo... Can you reproduce on a different hardware? Also please attach your IDE log and reopen, thanks.
Used the swing demo from http://swinglabs-demos.java.net/ (webstart) Paints happening "off screen" (while on a different virtual desktop) are not materialized. Have not tested with a different machine, this is Gnome 3.8 with JDK 7u25 and Nvidia graphics card/drivers.
I have the exact same problem on my machine: ArchLinux, Gnome 3 and an Intel Chipset.
I assume this is due to Java 8 enbabling the xrender extension by default. I have serious graphics issues with Netbeans 8/Java 8 on Nvidia machine, flickering, windows only scrolling partly etc. I added the following flag to the netbeans startup options: -J-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true this seemed to mitigate the problems, at least during a 10 minute test period. I encourage other users experiencing graphics problems to test it and report their results.
(In reply to everflux from comment #7) >I encourage other users experiencing graphics problems to test it > and report their results. I also had severe rendering problems using Ubuntu on a NVidia machine. Adding the proposed flag fixed it for me. Thanks.
