When I open a new Composite Application Project, the CASA editor continuously refreshes with significant shaking when External Modules is displayed. If I shrink NetBeans down "to hide the External Modules page", the shakes/jitters on the screen, caused by the refresh go away. Eric M. Smith
This is also a major issue in NB 6.5 when developing a SOA Composite App. See attached screenshot (animated GIF)
Created attachment 66217 [details] Screen Capture showing constant refresh situation
Steps to reproduce in 6.5 1) Create a new SOA -> Composite Application Project 2) Make sure both sides (where Partner Links are placed) of the CASA editor are visible (beyond simple elipsis size).
-> SOA
We couldn't reproduce this problem locally. Can you reproduce this problem and provide us with more detailed information, e.g., version of Linux and JDK used. Thanks,
We couldn't reproduce this problem locally. Lower the priority to p3 for now. We will re-evaluate this issue when receiving more detailed instructions on how to reproduce this problem.
Okay, more detailed instructions. 1) Start NetBeans. 2) Maximize the IDE. I run on a 1280x800 screen so I always run maximized when editing. 3) Create a new Composite Application. 4) Open the CASA Editor for the Composite Application. At this point, you should have the Project tree, the "local" windows below the editor, and the CASA Editor open. 5) Adjust all non CASA Editor windows so that the CASA Editor shows all 3 vertical sections of the CASA Editor (left, center, and right). At this point, on every version of NB I have tried (6.5 m1 -> 200809071401 so far), my CASA Editor goes crazy with a continuous refresh. 6) Adjust the Project tree pane so that the CASA Editor only shows the left 2 vertical sections (left, center). At this point, on every version of NB I have tried, my CASA Editor stabilizes. 7) Adjust all non CASA Editor windows so that the CASA Editor shows all 3 vertical sections of the CASA Editor (left, center, and right). At this point, the IDE is back to a continuous refresh with a jumping screen.
Hi, Can you tell us the Linux and JDK versions used on your system? For example, the first few lines from the NetBeans log will be helpful: Log Session: Wednesday, September 3, 2008 10:23:33 PM PDT System Info: Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 080731) Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.5.0_14; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_14-b03; Sun Microsystems Inc. Runtime = Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.5.0_14-b03 Java Home = C:\javatools\jdk1.5.0_14\jre System Locale; Encoding = en_US (nb); Cp1252 Home Directory = C:\Documents and Settings\tli Current Directory = D:\darkhorse\main\nbbuild\netbeans\bin User Directory = D:\nb61\usrdir Installation = D:\darkhorse\main\nbbuild\netbeans\nb6.5 Because we could not reproduce this problem locally, any additional information such as system configuration, graphic card and display setting may help us to reproduce this. Thanks, -- Tientien Li
Created attachment 70394 [details] Log File from v 200809220201
I have just attached a log file from a quick run using 200809220201. The problem still appears on my machine using this version. I have checked against JDK 1.6.0_07, 1.6.0_10beta, and 1.6.0_10rc1 and the issue exists on my machine for all 3 JDK's.
Changed target milestone.
We could not reproduce this problem locally with our Linux PC. This could be a graphic HW or driver related issue. I will try to post a message to the user group to see anyone else can reproduce it.
I can confirm that problem with Fedora 8, a resolution of 1600x1200, NVidia Quadro NVS 285, NVidia driver version 173.14.05, JDK 1.6.0_07 and Netbeans 6.1.
I see this problem too, 90% of the time in CASA on Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) and OpenSolaris. In both cases with JDK 1.6.x, or OpenJDK. I've tried it on various machines with different graphics cards and resolutions from 1400x1050 up to 1920x1200.
Same thing here. The steps to reproduce are actually quite simple. Create a new Composite Application and maximize the CASA editor. The screen starts to flicker. As for the cause, it seems to me that once the CASA editor area is large enough so that the scrollbars are not needed, the editor starts to constantly hide and show them at a very rapid pace, which results in the screen flickering. Also note that this occurs only under the GTK+ look and feel. When I start NetBeans with the Metal LAF, the problem does not occur. -- Milan Fort http://www.milanfort.com/
It also appears on my machine using the new Nimbus LAF.
Same thing here. Two different computers with Ubuntu 8.04, onboard video cards (one Intel and the other SiS, so, different dysplay drivers) running Netbeans 6.1 and 6.5 RC1 on Java 6 u10
Just like to report another failed attempt to reproduce this problem. This week, I was given the remote access to an old linux box (Ubuntu 6.06). After few hours spending on setting up JDK1.6, download and install NB 6.1, I could not reproduce this bug. I had exactly the same experience as last time working with head-less soalaris build machines. IMO, this is not a very efficient way of utilizing resources. The total amount of time that I have spent working on this bug is probably costing much more than a linux box. I will *NOT* attempt to work this bug again unless there is a physical linux/solaris machine available that can reproduce the problem. Remote access is just not useful for this type of problems.
I just updated to Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) with a new installation of JDK 1.6_10 final and NetBeans RC-2. This problem still exists. My machine: Gateway M460 2GB Mem 80GB Hard Drive Ubuntu 8.10 (clean install on newly formatted and partitioned hard-drive) Sun Java JDK 1.6_10 (downloaded from Sun) NetBeans 6.5 RC-2 Steps to reproduce: 1) Start NetBeans 2) Maximize IDE 3) New Composite Application Project When the project opens and scanning is finished, the window starts adding and removing the scrollbars multiple times per second.

I am experiencing the same problem in Ubunut 8.10, and Ubuntu 8.4. I event tested with latest JDK ( jdk-6u12-linux-i586) and the problem still exists. Before this we were using jdk1.6.0_05.
As already indicated by Milan this problem only occurs when using the GTK+ Look and Feel. Just wanted to point that out again...
In OpenSolaris snv_108b this issues exists with the nimbus L&F for NetBeans. A workaround is setting the L&F to metal ./netbeans --laf javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
Hi Tientien, I guess you did not use the GTK look and feel, if you were unable to reproduce. Please make sure, that you started netbeans 6.1 with option "--laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel". That's essential for successful reproduction. You can specify this option either on commandline when starting netbeans or in ${netbeans_install_dir}/etc/netbeans.conf file. On command line it's $ cd ${netbeans_install_dir}/bin $ ./netbeans --laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel In --laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel it's modification of line starting with "netbeans_default_options=", where you have to add the option into the list of options and (re)start NetBeans. If it doesn't help, I've prepared Virtualbox image with Ubuntu 8.10 and NetBeans 6.1 where it can be easily reproduced, just let me know how can I deliver 7.8 GB to you (I can burn it to DVD+R DL). Raising priority due to Sun-internal escalation.
Yes, we are able to reproduce this issue now. The sustaining team is currently preparing a dev environment for debugging.
Temp workaround the flicking issue by always showing CASA scrollbars if the LnF is GTK or if the system property "casa.scrollbars.always" is set to "true". http://hg.netbeans.org/soa-dev65/rev/f3eafa82bed0
I've verified this workaround fixes the issue.
