Hi,
I am developing a Java 1.4.2 application using Swing that will run on a set of Dell servers running WinXP Pro SP2, DirectX 9.0c, and the latest drivers for the Quadro FX 500/FX 600 (v7.7.1.8). We use dual screens and when the window of our app spans across the divide of the shared desktop (even a little) it can get into a state where the window is not re-drawn and never recovers. The easiest way to see this is with this simple program:
import javax.swing.*;
public class HelloWorldSwing {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloWorldSwing");
frame.getContentPane().setBackground(new Color(0));
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
After running it, expand the window a little and have it straddle the two screens. Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and then Esc a couple of times. On a computer with the Quadro FX 500/FX 600 after a few times the window should 'grey out' and never refresh again.
If this same app is run under Java 1.5 there is no problem, but our app does still have the problem under 1.5. We also cannot ship using Java 1.5.
Does anyone have any suggestions about work arounds or possible fixes?
