Blank/black dialogs windows

Hello Hussein,

Please update to JDK 1.6.0_10.

I got enormous amount of blank or even black dialogs windows while
working with IntelliJ which is really hurtful especially if I got a
blank dialog at the final stage of wizard process.

How to fix?

Environment:

Ubuntu 8.04.1

JDK 1.6 u7

IntelliJ 8.0.1

Thanks.

Thanks,
The problem is that Ubuntu repositories didn't upgrade to u10 or u11 yet.

You can manually install the JDK, available for download from Sun's website (personally I just don't want my jdk to be managed by Ubuntu).  Otherwise, you can turn off advanced desktop effects.

There are some known issues when using Compiz and Java.
So if you are running 3D effects this might be your issue

You can fix it by putting the following in your bash profile (~.bashrc)
#Workaround re-paint issues with Java and Compiz
export AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit"
