rendering problems

Jalview Discussion
1

Hi,

I’ve installed the latest Jalview for linux, and I seem to have rendering problems on it. It looks like the windows
are not refreshing the image, and it’s only when I move the mouse over them or shake the windows a bit that the content of the window is partially displayed.

Here are three examples:

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~avilella/jalview1.png # The menu shows up only when I resize the window
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~avilella/jalview2.png # The window frame for the tree doesn’t show
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~avilella/jalview3.png # Moving the threshold on the tree makes the aligment look garbled

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Albert.

Just of the top of my head, are you using Compiz or Beryl as a window
manager ? There are (still) some issues with Swing applications using
these managers.

I've noticed some occasional redraw issues with older linuxen - but
nothing like what you've shown in those snapshots.
