fixed empty windows in ImageJ - WFM

[Ronald Michaels]

Hi -

I have ImageJ running on an OpenSUSE 11.0 64 bit box and I have had problems
with occasional, random blank windows.  I installed the latest Java package
from SUN and use that to run ImageJ, as mentioned in this list.  That fixed
the warning about some library, but I still got occasional empty windows.

I fixed empty windows by turning off all the compiz desktop effects.  That
also allowed me to change window focus by moving the cursor over a window -
my preference.

All those compiz effects are nice, but not as nice as having a fully
functional ImageJ!

Could you please test imageJ on the pre-release version of JDK6 (6u10 b32 or later, where the bug is fixed), with compiz enabled?

Cheers

Hi -

Following the suggestion of m.doube, I installed
jdk-6u10-rc2-bin-b32-linux-amd64-debug-12_sep_2008.jar on a Sun Ultra 24
running openSUSE 11.0.  

I enabled Compiz default effects.

My command line was

/home/ron/Download/JDK_B32/jdk1.6.0_10/fastdebug/bin/java -Xmx3000m -jar
ij.jar &

I opened several large image files of various types and ImageJ appears to
work just fine with this JDK release and Compiz.

I then closed this instance of ImageJ, left Compiz enabled, and started
ImageJ with jre1.6.0_07. The first image I tried to load gave me a blank window.

Glad that worked Ron.

Did you get missing taskbar icons after clicking on a modal dialog?  I
originally posted 'missing taskbar buttons' as part of the same bug, but
it has been reported before and is now being tracked here:
