I have Forte IE Beta2 installed on a Solaris7/Sparc server w/ Sun jdk1.3FCS, and am running it from a RedHat7/Intel X/Gnome/Sawfish session w/ Sun JDK1.3FCS. There are many errors with window positioning and dialog painting. When starting Forte the splash screen will draw itself in seemingly random locations on the screen. Then the main window will draw itself mostly off the top of the desktop, making it impossible to drag it back vi the titlebar. Other widows, dialogs, and menus all exhibit strange poistioning behavior. Most property editors and save dialogs etc will also only draw about 3/4 of the content pane as in this sketch... ____________ | | | | A | | | | | --------- | | B | ------------- Zone A will be painted correctly, zone B will be an empty gray zone. These zones persists in relative scale if the window is draged into smaller or larger sizes. I'm submitting this one as a blocker because it is making Forte unusable in a multiuser setup. If I install forte locally on the RedHat Client there are no issues with painting or positioning. Thanks, Ian
Sorry, but I have to reject this bug. You say that everything is OK if you use a local X connection. If that is so, it is not a Forte bug, since from a Java API perspective remote vs. local X status is completely invisible. So it is very likely a bug in the JDK. Are you sure you have all recommended Solaris patches? People do sometimes run the IDE over a remote X connection, and while it is not as fast, it does work (I do it every day in fact). This sounds like a low-level display problem in the JRE native code, maybe.
Okay, Makes sense. I am sure I have all the recommended patches (or superceding patches) for JDK1.3 installed. I'll take this to Sun. Thanks.
