This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: - run Netbeans with jdk 1.6 specified - in the project tree, try to drag the Runtime tab to some other position When dragging the tab, you will see black aquare area being dragged, after you drop it somewhere there will be problems with Welcome screen repainting You can reproduce the repaint problems with any other window and with oher actions. Sometimes the IDE becomes unusable because of these problems. Workaround: when running the IDE set -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true or use java 1.5 We can avoid this bug if installer sets the UseQuartz option to true during install
More detailed description steps: - install Enterprise Tools Bundle on MacOS and specify jdk 1.6 to be used by IDE - run the IDE - in the project tree, try to drag the Runtime tab to some other position There will be problems repainting the Welcome screen and other windows
Mike, Is this issue is reproducible with the pure NetBeans IDE or only with Java Tools Bundle/NetBeans IDE + EntPack? If the answer is NO (the issue is NOT reproducible with pure NetBeans IDE) that all the next written stuff should be ignored. I do think that this key should not be added by EntPack/JavaTools installer. There is no special installer for NetBeans IDE on MacOSX, it is delivered as . tar.gz file. So the IDE "installer" on MacOSX can`t even add this flag to netbeans.conf. As for configuring IDE we (EntPack/JavaTools installer) try to behave in the same maner as IDE installer does. So it is not desirable for us to do the things about IDE that differs from IDE installer itself. Most probably this should be added to release notes or just add as a comment to netbeans.conf. So I think that ide/documentation is the right component/subcomponent to reassign this issue to. Thanks, Dmitry
This is reproducible with pure Netbeans installation too. A similar bug is filed against Netbeans. I don't mind release noting this but as far as I know the corresponding Netbeans bug will be releasenoted. Adding whiteboard key for docs to track this.
The current NB 5.5 release notes do not mention this issue at all. See http://nbstaging.czech.sun.com/community/releases/55/relnotes.html mikk, please add the # of the issue in NetBeans so we can reference it.
