Hi Dmitri, I am still using 1.4.2_10, on Windows XP. I do remember reading about the blog entries you mentioned but Mustang is still far away in the future, so I kind of forgot about it: what point is there drooling over things that are still years away ;-) Also, because I did not see this behaviour until recently, I was thinking it must be my fault.
Now, from re-reading these blog entries it would seem that 2 or more different widgets must be competing for the global off-screen buffer, so that (to borrow from the hardware jargon) its image cache is always "cold" when the time comes for it to be used by the JTree and that furthermore for some reason or other I had miraculously avoided such contention so far. Does that sound correct to you? That does not sound quite correct to me because with most GUIs being composed of so many widgets there should always be much contention and thus you should always observe the dreaded gray rectangle pathology but in fact you don't. I will download Mustang and give it a try but I wish I could get rid of this disgrace before then: I am only now moving to 1.5, so I let you imagine when I'll be using 1.6... Would looking for which dirty areas are put in the queue and in which order give me a cue? And would it ba an _actionable_ cue?
