[dev jan 15] Sometimes the icon for the "Shortcut to Target" template (under Ant Build Scripts) in the New wizard disappears, i.e. becomes blank. But then it will reappear. This happens when moving up and down over the template using the keyboard or mouse in the first panel of the wizard; moving over the node sometimes works normally, sometimes makes the icon disappear when it was present before, sometimes makes it reappear when it was not present; seems to be random. Initially I thought it had something to do with reloading the Ant module, but it happens without this, when the Ant module is a normal nonreloadable installation module. The Ant layer just defines the template as a .txt file with a template wizard iterator and the usual template stuff (localized name and icon using nbresloc:). It only seems to happen in the case of this one template, however, so I do not know what is special about it. The same happens when looking at the node in the Options dialog under Templates, so it is not a problem with the New wizard as such. The only thing I see unusual about it is that the icon is a layered GIF with an alpha channel, whereas others around it have an alpha channel but are not layered. Possible JDK bug? JDK 1.3.1_02 on Linux/Gnome/Enlightenment.
wizards -> passing to Marek.
Disagree; as I wrote: "The same happens when looking at the node in the Options dialog under Templates, so it is not a problem with the New wizard as such."
ok, I'm new to all of this and didn't read whole story :-(
Also look at #10687, might be related.
Check issue #22424...related?!

This has been open for a while and has been reported several times.
It's reproducible in at least in ME (on w2k), it can be seen also in System Filesystem|Templates|Ant|Shortcut to Target. Maybe problem with badge in IconManager -> change to AWT/Swing.
Closing as wontfix - the switch to FS extension will involve a wholesale rewrite of the template system, and it's extremely unlikely that this issue will continue to be a problem.
Any rewrite of the template system is probably irrelevant, since this seems to be a graphics bug of some kind - a rewrite would probably still be using the same rendering infrastructure. I don't see any reason to believe that TemplateWizard or friends is actually responsible for this. I have not seen this bug in a while. JDK_SPECIFIC perhaps?
Can't remember when I last saw this. Can probably be WORKSFORME.
Makes sense to me.
