Description jamespb 2007-07-21 21:55:06 UTC 
Start NetBeans.  Start the Windows Vista "magnifier" accessability tool.  NetBeans display goes completely wonky; most
of the window is black, with two or three controls drawing correctly across the window.  Exiting magnifier doesn't help;
NetBeans redraw is completely confused, had to exit and restart.

screenshot enclosed.

This sounds like a JDK bug, but reassigning to the window system for further evaluation
Comment 3 David Simonek 2007-07-24 16:48:11 UTC 
Yes this is JDK bug for sure I would say. Try following:

- test SwingSet2 if it suffers from the same problem
- run netbeans with -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true, that should fix the problem.

Btw, why should be core team responsible for evaluating most of JDK related bugs? I have the same knowledge (or maybe
even weaker knowledge) about JDK as nearly any other NB developer. 
Hell on these unwritten rules, I nearly can't do much other work...

Sorry for offense, but I don't know what to do to change this, so at least I'm yelling...

FYI, magnifier is working in this build:
