I think I've stumbled on a possible bug either in SUSE's implementation of KDE3.5 and Java 1.5, or only in Java 1.5... I'm not sure which is the culprit here.
I have a Java application I use every day for my work - oXygenXML. I started noticing a problem where if a child window/dialog was shaded, it wouldn't unshade.
With some help of the application developers at oXygen, it was traced down to this... If you have a Java application that creates a frame and a dialog with the frame as a parent, and you open the dialog and execute a shade-close-unshade on the dialog title bar, the window content is painted grey - the contents are not repainted. The only way to get rid of the broken dialog is to restart the application.
This is only a problem when I use Java 1.5. The same application running on a Java 1.4 VM is fine.
It was tested on SUSE 10.0 with KDE 3.5 and on Fedora. This problem with the shade only happens in SUSE - not on Fedora.
So... any thoughts on this? Is it something in SUN's Java 1.5 (and subsequently should be put into SUN's Java Bugzilla) or something to do with SUSE 10.0 (and a candidate for the OpenSUSE Bugzilla)?
Try another JVM first. For instance IBM's http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/index.html
