Dissapearing dialogs
Hello -
I have a problem w/ dialogs coming up without
painting their contents (on every version of IDEA that I've used so far)...
For example, if I select the Refactor > Rename option using a mouse, a
dialog frame will be displayed, the content will flash, and a empty dialog
will remain. Once I force the dialog to repaint (by dragging it
behind another window), everything is fine. This also occurs w/
Frameless dialogs (e.g., Insert Live Template). However, if I invoke the
same functionality via a hot-key (i.e., not using the mouse), the dialog is
displayed correctly...
I know that the File > Open functionality uses
the Swing component, and it too displays this behavior, so I'm pretty sure
that its a Swing bug (since this problem also manifests itself under IBM's
VM). The kicker is that *this problem only occurs on my home computer*
and not my office computer (both are running Win2K SP 2)...
The home computer is a 1.4 GHz P4 w/ GeForce2,
and the office computer is a 500 MHz P3, so I'm suspecting that it may be due
to some direct-draw bug. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance, Chad
