The bug I describe above appears to be specific to Java 6 running on newer Macs (specifically ones like mine with an Intel Iris graphics adapter, but it may also affect the AMD adapters used in the new Mac Pros.) There are a lot of known problems with Java 6 on new Macs-- at least in my testing, Apple Java 6 doesn't appear to support Quartz Java 2D acceleration on these newer graphics adapters, so trying to use it with them results in extremely poor performance and buggy behavior such as this. This is why the TurboVNC Viewer ships two standalone versions for Mac. The AppleJava version is known to be faster on older Macs (at least on the two I have available for testing-- a GeForce-equipped Mini from 2009 and an Intel HD-equipped Macbook Pro from 2011), and the OracleJava version is known to be slower on those same machines. But on the newer machines, the reverse seems to be true (the Oracle Java JRE uses OpenGL for Java 2D as opposed to Quartz.) Also, if anyone does experience the above bug, it is easily worked around by manually sending a screen refresh request using the TurboVNC Viewer (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-R). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ TurboVNC-Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/turbovnc-users
