After installing Java 6 update 12 text in the “value” column fails to display. Only by selecting a field with the mouse can the text in that field be seen. Reverting back to Java 6 update 11 solved the problem.
Additional Info: this error showed itself while in the PHP programming perspective. I have not tested it with others.
