Category: Behaviour Group: 0.65.x >Status: Open >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 1 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Sean 'Shaleh' Perry (shaleh) Summary: Incorrect Java Window Handling Initial Comment: All the Java swing applications(j2sdk1.4) are not displayed correctly. On limewire the window opens up to twice your desktop resolution, but only the top left 1/8 of the window actually displays part of the application. When attempting to resize some Java applications, they instantly disappear (still running, but unviewable). I believe these to be Blackbox bugs because they do not occur in other window managers. blackbox --version gives Blackbox 0.65.0alpha2 Thanks, -- Uriah Liggett ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Sean 'Shaleh' Perry (shaleh) Date: 2003-03-19 22:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=37132 I am sorry I did not update this bug before. Java 1.3 has issues with several window managers, the various blackbox codebases being among them. Upgrading to 1.4 appears to solve this for the people i have spoken with. We have done all we can with blackbox and Java 1.3. This bug is quite hard to track down and several weeks of time have been spent on it. Sun has basically said that if you are not running GNOME (which means sawfish or I presume metacity now) they are not interested in you. They even refuse to support proper functioning with twm. I have no idea why running kdeinit would have any bearing on the matter. Perhaps they have code to detect kde and run alternative code if this is the case. If more info and debugging can be brought to this problem we are willing to examine it further. However supporting proprietary tech when the authors are unwilling to give any support in return is not a very high priority. We understand that some people are required to use Java to earn a paycheck and do sympathize so I am re-opening the bug but leaving it at priority 1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neil Short (neshort) Date: 2003-03-19 22:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=136238 I have this problem. I run blackbox 0.65.0 on FreeBSD (4.8 RC 0). I have two Java VMs on the system and neither treats window sizes properly. The native FreeBSD Java 1.3.1 VM shrinks the window size down to a length and width of 0,0. If I'm not watching the screen when it displays, I might miss it and not be able to stretch it out to use the application. On the Linux VM, the applications sometimes dilplay larger than the screen area. Here's the kicker: The same Java applications display properly in all other tested window managers, including: KDE, TWM and WM2. The problem also manifests itself, incidentally, in Fluxbox. I suspect if it gets fixed in one it will be fixed in the other. Anyway, this was once a problem with KDE as well. See the link: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4379472.html In the document above, the problem was assumed to be a problem unique with KDE and that the KDE developers had resolved the issue. Unfortunately, my favorite window manager, Blackbox, also has the problem. I have noticed that if I run the KDE application kdeinit before running blackbox, then during that session, the java applications window sizes will be properly display. >From some of the online discussions I have seen, the problem is that java cannot detect the correct window borders on some window managers. I hope you guys can find a fix for this. I can't bare to use those other window managers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean 'Shaleh' Perry (shaleh) Date: 2002-06-22 02:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=37132 updated cvs a few minutes ago. The problem of windows loading partially off screen has been fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2002-06-10 00:40 Message: Logged In: NO JBuilder all versions j2sdk1.3 When window with context help (this with methods that class have, it appears when you place dot after object name ie. 'this.') appears, jbuilder iconized. The same bug I see under KDE, but 'qlvm' don't have it, so this is not java bug I think. I download blackbox 0.65.0alpha8, but 'blackbox -version' gives Blackbox 1997 - 2000 Brad Hughes 0.65.0alpha7 : (c) 2001 - 2002 Sean 'Shaleh' Perry Remi Samosiuk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean 'Shaleh' Perry (shaleh) Date: 2002-06-08 00:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=37132 would someone mind testing this with current (0.65.0alpha8 or better) blackbox? We have cleaned up the window configuring which may have fixed this as a result. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2002-05-23 08:20 Message: Logged In: NO I'm a trying this with Alpha 6 and jdk 1.4, MDK 8.2, Limewire and x86. I had similar problem to earlier poster. Now when I start up Limewire it makes X use 90%+ of resources. Everything slows down completely and it when I kill Limewire, it goes back to normal. Previously it managed to crash X. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean 'Shaleh' Perry (shaleh) Date: 2002-05-02 09:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=37132 Sorry but I am not going to install a non-free language and system on my machine. If you have the time or if someone else does I will accept patches. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=428680&aid=551451&group_id=40696 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
