Repaint problems with Java 1.6 and Citrix
843806Apr 17 2009 — edited Oct 21 2009We are porting our Swing application from Java 1.4 to 1.6. When we run it directly from a PC, it works fine. But when we run it remotely, using a Citrix Server, it has repaint problems in different places.
When this happens, the window might be blank, and as we click on the different components they get individually drawn.
In another case we see that text fields lose their caret, and they don't echo back their characters, but they accept the input.
If we cover the window and then uncover it, it does not help (it does not get repainted.)
(I know that in Java 1.6 double buffering was introduced to fix the "black rectangle" problem...could this be the cause?)
But if we minimize it and restore it, it cleans up and repaints correctly.
I am trying to figure out if this is a Citrix or a Swing 1.6 issue...
Has any body used Citrix with Java 1.6 and seen this problem?
(I have not seen this problem mentioned in the Citrix forum.)
