Description Marco Walther 2006-05-25 18:01:13 UTC
I've seen two reports of a completely blank main window on SuSE 10.1:-(

One is related to Creator 2.1 (NB 4.1 code base):

http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=97305

The other was related to NB 5. Unfortunately I saw that late on #netbeans 
@irc.freenode.net  and the user had left already:-( My IRC client also messed 
the log up, it did not include the previous messages:-(

Both installations were running with JDK 1.5.*.

I'll try to install SuSE 10.1 on my Opteron box. I'll update this bug as soon 
as I know more.

We need more information.
Comment 2 David Simonek 2006-06-20 12:55:44 UTC
Any new information? We never experienced such error, Linux or Win OS. Reporter
when you reproduce please try with various JDK versions, graphics is changing
between versions. Also be sure to try with latest dev build and JDK 1.6, I
removed  one hack several days ago which may influence this. Thanks.
Comment 3 Marco Walther 2006-06-20 19:20:35 UTC
I did install SuSE 10.1 on my box. But I was not able to reproduce the 
problem:-( Could it be again some graphics chip specific problem??

I was using a Sun w2100z with the Nvidia binary graphics driver.

I tried different versions of NetBeans 4.1 ... 5.5, Creator 2.* and JDK's.

But it was interesting that I saw the problem mentioned for two different 
NB/Creator versions. So I wanted to let you know that there might be a 
problem.

Thanks,

Thanks Marco - indeed there may be a problem somewhere and the hack I talked
about  may be guilty - but without reproduction I can't do anything more, just
wish that the problem is gone, because main window displaying hack was removed
for JDK 1.6.
Closing now, if reappers please reopen with more info, thanks.
