Created attachment 105859 [details] "Display As" submenu with invisible "Decimal" item. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.0 Beta 2 (Build 201102100000) Java: 1.6.0_23; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 19.0-b09 System: Linux version 2.6.35-22-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; cs_CZ (nb) Userdir: /home/cesilko/.netbeans/7.0beta2 Description: ============ Variables view does not for some reason display actual option determining how variable values should be displayed. It looks like the text uses white or background color, because if mouse hovers over the item it all of a sudden gets displayed correctly. Please look at the attached screenshot. I am on Linux Mint (Julia) with Gnome window manager. Steps to reproduce: =================== 1. Create new Anagram Game sample application. 2. Toggle breakpoint at line 54 in Anagrams.java file. 3. Invoke "Debug > Debug Project" from the main menu. 4. Once the breakpoint is hit, create new watch "wordIdx". 5. Right click its value "O" and select "Display As" submenu. 6. The "Decimal" option should not be visible.
Created attachment 105866 [details] Invisible checked items in the View main menu.
This looks like a more serious problem. Please see the second screenshot which shows that it concerns main "View" menu as well! The interesting observation is that it affects only selectable menu items. Window system's fault? Martine please reassign upon your evaluation. Thanks.
I have no problems on my Linux Ubuntu 10.10. I've even installed JDK 1.6.0_23. Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 110128-55d8fb030ed4) Java: 1.6.0_23; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 19.0-b09 System: Linux version 2.6.35-25-generic-pae running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) I see all menu items correctly. I've tried Metal L&F and default GTK L&F (which is quite ugly). But your screenshot does not look like my GTK L&F, therefore it's probable that Mint have a different L&F. From this it looks like it's Mint's L&F problem.
Jirko, can you please test if the menus are visible correctly on your system with some usable L&F, like --laf javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel ?
The bug is NOT reproducible with --laf javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel.
Thanks. Looks like Mint's GTK bug, really. I wasn't able to find a bug like this mentioned somewhere though. Last thing - could you check if this happens to be fixed on JDK 7?
Where can I get the latest JDK 7 please? I only found internal sources with 2 years old build #74.
Unfortunately I did not find it at java.sun.com, it seems to be available only at http://jdk7.java.net/ Thanks.
No, build #128 from February 3rd does not help. Items are still invisible... Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.0 Beta 2 (Build 201102052128) Java: 1.7.0-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.0-b07 System: Linux version 2.6.35-22-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; cs_CZ (nb) Userdir: /home/cesilko/.netbeans/7.0beta2
This is not a JDK 7 specific bug.
Confirmed by the reporter as reproducible with SwingSet2 demo. Not NetBeans specific. A problem specific to "Mint-X-Metal" gnome theme. Switching to a different gnome color theme fixed the problem. Closing wontfix.
Correct, verifying...
Hello, in Linux Mint12 it isn't java problem. I just turn off "Menus have Icons" in "Advanced Settings" and the problem has disappeared.
