Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: Robert Cartwright (rcartwright) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Compiz causes numerous Java Swing bugs Initial Comment: In Linux with Compiz is enabled, DrJava breaks in a multitude of ways. Since mid-2006, Sun has acknowledged problems with running AWT/Swing in the context of Compiz but has not been very responsive in fixing the problem. I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a new laptop and was dismayed when DrJava blew up in various ways (crashing the OS when opening a folder to populate a project, failing to resize the mainframe, displaying blank popup dialog screens, etc.). I never enable compiz but I wondered if it was enabled by default in Ubuntu 9.04. Voila! It is. We need to check on startup if compiz is enabled and warn users that DrJava may fail catastrophically if it continues. We should also point to a browser page that explains the best way to disable compiz, a question that I cannot answer at this time. I uninstalled all packages with compiz in the name and rebooted which seemed to work but that procedure is too drastic for many users (who might want to selectively disable compiz when running certain applications. For the record, I was running Java 6.0_Update 13 and Java 5.0 Update 18 when these problems occurred. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=438935&aid=2796228&group_id=44253 |
