Description lukem 2006-04-08 00:00:31 UTC 
Don't know where problem lies (maybe even in Swing), but i have problem using 
IDE when my monitor is positioned upright (longer edge is positioned upright to 
ground).
My system configuration is:
GeForce 5200 FX (drivers 8.4.2.1 (2006-03-09)) - the pivot function is provided 
via graphic driver (via NVIDIA settings),
SyncMaster 193T LCD monitor (19 inches) connected digitally with graphic card,
896 MB SDRAM,
Gigabyte GA2000BX motherboard,
Pentium III 900 MHz (installed via special SLOT1 - FCPGA plaque),

Please quickly respond.

Now i have to clearyfi... i have been working with netbeans with monitor 
positioned normally - netbeans ui responses have been reasonable, then i 
switched to 'pivot' mode (so monitor was positioned) - and its (ui) responses 
have been reasonable... ( a also changed the option in netbeans.conf to new mark 
and sweep gc).

But i am pretty sure what was buggy (99.99 %) - it is the start page - when you 
first start netbeans there is a graphic start page (with options New project 
etc) - when i closed it (when monitor was not pivoted) everything was working 
perfect ...

So the bug/... lies in graphic start screen when monitor is pivoted...

I won't blame NetBeans on this.
NB doesn't care/know about your monitor's rotation.
The fact that it occurs only with NB startpage is most probably caused by using
some specific graphics operation (which is slow in pivot mode) only in the
startpage.

Generally, pivot mode is slower for some operations because they are heavily
tuned for pixel-line-consists-of-subsequent-words layout of video memory. In
pivot mode, your display still keeps the same scan pattern, so the memory lines
are now vertical.

there's a new welcome screen with a bit less graphics (see #110899).
please reopen if you still experience performance problems
