 Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 9:23 pm Post subject: Ubuntu 12.04 Unity dialogs messed up |
 |
|
Running NB 7.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 Unity using the OpenJDK 6. Many of the
dialogs opened from netbeans are not opening at a usable size. For
example the "Go to Type" dialog (Ctrl + O) opens extremely thin, maybe
15 pixels wide, and quite tall. It is unusable like that. I can double
click what title bar at the top and it will maximize OK, or if I'm
patient, I can resize it by finding a corner and dragging with the mouse.
Anyone seen this? |

From what I've seen so far it is Unity's.

Hi,
have you tried with Sun/Oracle JDK ?
Many users have problems with OpenJDK. |

I don't think it is *entirely* Unity's fault. I have a number of Java
applications with Dialogs that display correctly, so it must be possible
for NetBeans to display dialogs correctly also.

I've resolved this by installing the sun sdk. You can verify its presence like this:
| Code: | $ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1061 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1061 manual mode
2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java 63 manual mode
* 3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1051 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: |
Once you know its location, modify the etc/netbeans.conf file and set the vm you want to use. |

That is also what I did. I looked for a place to open a bug report for
OpenJDK but could not find where to do so.

Discovered something interesting. I have this exact same issue, but I am running a laptop with a 2nd screen under Twinview. If I open and run Netbeans on my laptop screen, then the dialogs work fine. If I drag Netbeans to my second screen and click on Tools>Options ... the dialog does not open correctly (it opens narrow). Drag it back to my primary laptop screen ... works fine.

What happens when you resize the dialog, close it, then reopen it while
on the same monitor? Too, what happens if you run it with the latest
Oracle JDK 6?
Thanks,
Wade

Wade,
If I resize the dialog, close it, and then reopen it opens narrow again. It's not saving the resize settings on the 2nd screen. Doesn't matter how many times I do this. However, if I drag NB back over to my primary screen on the laptop, it opens fine every time.
I have not tried it with Oracle JDK 6. I've used Netbeans for years and in the past I've never had issues with OpenJDK either. All of this has started occurring with Ubuntu 12.04.

Hi,
just for info : Using Twinview on a desktop running Ubuntu 12.04 + Oracle Java 7 + Netbeans 7.1.2
If I open the dialogs on the "left" monitor all is fine, and if I do it on the "right" monitor the dialogs are messy.
I tried changing the primary monitor but the behaviour is the same.
EDIT : swapping the virtual placement of monitors in nvidia settings (ie inverting right vs left) makes the behaviour consistent, ie the "left" monitor is fine.
As Casey, I have the same behaviour.
Thank you for any clue on this. |

Casey,
I wrote some code that would make sure the project properties dialog resized properly on multi-displays; different dialog than options. How does that dialog behave on your system? I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, not with Unity though, but with Gnome Classic (with effects not without). I'm not specifically enabling Twin View, but am using AMD/ATI Radeon Drivers and Catalyst proprietary. Everything seems to behave normally for me. It may be there is a difference in the way the options dialog and the project properties dialogs come up if the project properties dialog behaves differently for you. If so, I might have a peek at the logic that opens the Tools|Options dialog to see what it is doing. I don't think I have ever looked at it before.
Wade
