Created attachment 92302 [details] screenshot of garbled text in java editor In the ordinary java editor the text becomes garbled when scrolling through a large java source file. The file contains about 4900 lines of comments and java code. Smaller files containing approx 350 lines aren't affected. I'm running ubuntu 9.04 with netbeans installed from the package from netbeans page (not installed through synaptic). I have the problem on two separate x86 linux machines both running ubuntu 9.04 . One is running netbeans 6.7 the other 6.7.1 The problem doesn't seem to exist on a couple of other machines running windows xp
From netbeans about dialog : Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.7 (Build 200906241340) Java: 1.6.0_0; OpenJDK Client VM 14.0-b08 System: Linux version 2.6.28-17-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) Userdir: /home/dan/.netbeans/6.7
I found the solution in: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqSolvingEditorGarbledText The problem seems to be solved by adding -J-Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false to netbeans_default_options in netbeans.conf file I didn't change the xorg.conf file. I have an atix850xt in one machine and an ati mobility firegl v5200 in the other. So it does seem to work even if it's not an intel graphics controller as in the faq. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 149260 ***
