Hi Avital,

> Is running Java 7 a problem?

Yes, Java 7 has critical painting bugs on OS X that will never be fixed.
Please use Java 8 instead.

Note that the ImageJ Launcher still has problems selecting the latest
installed version of Java, when multiple versions are installed. So even if
you install Java 8, it may still launch ImageJ with Java 7 by default.

You can either uninstall Java 7, or force ImageJ to use your preferred Java
version [1].
