SQL Developer 17.2.0.188.1159-no-jre: Secondary monitor having problems...

Wolf_22 Sep 29, 2017 8:29 PM

I'm not sure what's going on here but my Windows 7 workstation has 2 monitors whereby SQL Developer works fine on the primary but when I drag the SQL Developer window over to the secondary monitor, the entire window "glitches" and doesn't appear to refresh the presented contents of the window and, well, basically freezes the last image of what the window showed. From what I've read in my attempts to find a solution, people refer to this repainting problems?

That being said, I have SQL Developer 17.2.0.188.1159-no-jre and I'm using JRE 1.8.0_144. The video card in the system appears to be an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT.

Does anyone know what might be happening here or how to fix it?

If updating the video driver does not help (the usual advice), then it could be a known issue caused by Windows updates...
Using Multiple Monitors

Look toward the end of the discussion, starting with post 11. Before that, you get advice on workarounds.

Thanks for the link, Gary. Making the secondary monitor the main monitor seems for me to be the best workaround. It's pretty pathetic that this needed to be done but I guess that's what I'll do until a real fix comes into play.
