Description _ tboudreau 2003-04-24 00:46:07 UTC 
The new propertysheet implementation will
dynamically add
components to itself (cell editors).

Whenever a component is added or removed, the
entire output
window turns gray for about a quarter of a second,
then
repaints itself.

My guess is that something in the hierarchy added an
AncestorListener and is responsible for this behavior.
It should be fixed for 4.0, it looks very bad.

Sounds like winsys issue? 

Tim, in the bug description you wanted to say "Options Dialog" and not
"Output Window", right?
Comment 2 _ tboudreau 2003-04-24 12:19:07 UTC 
Yes, options dialog - I shouldn't file bugs at 3 in the 
morning.

I have a feeling it's not a winsys issue, since the problem
only occurs in the options dialog, not in other similar 
windows.  Something is reacting in a big way whenever a 
component is added or removed to a child of the window.
Comment 3 David Konecny 2003-04-24 12:52:19 UTC 
Then maybe explorer?
Comment 4 Marian Mirilovic 2003-11-26 12:55:47 UTC 
Because Window System v1 will not be supported from now by our team, all old
winsys issues (now "core/window system v1" issues) are going to be closed as
WONTFIX. 

Changes in API which emerged both from UI spec 
and problems with adjusting to the older API are described in the document
http://core.netbeans.org/windowsystem/changes.html.
 It shows also recommends how the client code should be adjusted to the new
window system.

If you think this issue apply also to the new winsys then change the
subcomponent (to "core/window system") and REOPEN it.

issue doesn't apply to new window system - verified
