Java/Blackbox oversized window bug with IBM JRE

2002-07-25 Thread Øyvind Stegard
Hello I just experienced this bug using IBM's newest JRE v1.3.1. It does *not* happen so frequently with IBM's JRE as with Sun's, though, but still, it happens.(Again, dialogs are the problem) Just wanted to point this out, so we know it doesn't only happen with Sun's java stuff. -- Øyvind

Nope, I have not tried this wm. Just visited the web page where it belongs. I could give it a whirl later today, perhaps. Will tell my observations of how it behaves with java. (I'll try JRE's from Sun and from IBM) there were reports that fvwm was exhibiting similar symptoms.

Yup, a bit exaggerated. The speed of the newest JVMs is great, if you ask me. Most Java apps I use, run quite smoothly. Btw, I experienced the bug with the Blackdown JRE too, but the problem was more often too small dialogs than too big.(Like dialog sizes of 2x10 pixels and such) -

It was my understanding that it was based off of Blackbox. Teach me to open my fool mouth... if it's based off of Blackbox, it's only in spirit, 'cause even *I* can tell the two of them don't look anything like each other. Like Gnome would ever adopt anything written in C++ in the first
