Very slow scrolling after installing latest MacOS X Java update
Ever since I installed the latest Mac OS X Java update for Leopard last night (2009/12/4), scrolling in any of the scrollable panels in IntelliJ 8.1.4 is VERY slow. The symptoms are pretty much identical to what I sometimes get when I forget to use ScrollBar.setUnitIncrement to set a 'reasonable' scrolling increment on the scroll bars in my ScrollPane's. Assuming that the problem is a change in the default scrolling speed of scroll bars in this latest Java update, is there some way that I can override the new default by setting a property or something similar somewhere?
Note that by "slow", I mean that the scrollable panel does not move very far for each 'click' of the mouse wheel. This is very different from a performance problem related to scrolling that is discussed in a different thread in this forum.
Just to avoid any potential confusion, I am running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 (i.e. *NOT* Snow Leopard).

ditto--noticed the same thing. Also on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 with Intellij Idea 8.1.4
haven't found any way to fix yet =(
The workaround is to switch to the Java 1.6 JVM. Here's how:

Note that the above referenced article has a step that says you are to copy
...../JavaApplicationStub64
somewhere. Things have changed a bit since the article was written. The file in question is now called
...../JavaApplicationStub
This is explained in the article's comments although I didn't notice the update until I'd figured out that the ...../JavaApplication/Stub file was a Universal PPC/i386/x86_64 binary.
Thanks to Serge Baranov of Jetbrains for pointing me at the article.
As I am sure you know but it never hurts to remind one, make sure that you make a copy of your IntelliJ IDEA.8.1.4.app application 'bundle' before you make the change recommended in the article.
Scrolling got noticeably perkier once I made the above change.
hmm, fwiw, I down-graded to 32-bit 1.5 since using 64-bit 1.6 (don't have 32-bit 1.6 on regular leopard) was getting horrificly slow...
i may try the workaround since maybe the mac java update will fix the perf problem...
oy
tried that fix and scrolling is fixed, but idea is terribly slow on 64-bit 1.6
