Laszlo Kishalmi commented on NETBEANS-1344:
-------------------------------------------
Telling the truth, I won't put any money on Swing + GTK3 friendship. GTK3 has
been created in the awe of CSS. It's has a default theme, which is not built
for customization (yet distros are trying hard) If you check SwingSet2 with
GTK3, it is broken on several points and even sometimes much slower than on
GTK2+
I think it is quite possible that we need to give up on GTK LaF and set
something else as default on Linux.

> Well actually Java 11 the defaults Gnome3 on Linux, resulting poor rendering
> on the default GTK look and feel. Using other Look and feel (Nimbus, Darcula)
> does not suffer from this issue.
> Forcing to use GTK 2.2 fixes the GTK look and feel.
> To force gnome we need to pass: {{-Djdk.gtk.version=2.2}} to the Java
