I noticed that the thread:
https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/heap-memory-configuration-again-for-myeclipse-10/#post-321196
is already locked, so I continue here.
BTW: it might be a good idea to not directly show the attachment full-size in a thread but show them as icon’s as they appear very large in the thread above.

Anyway: I still have this auto-refresh problem due to a official-not-supported nvidia card that I use in my laptop (that’s what Clevo told me). But still: other people are running the same configuration and have no problem, but neither do they use MyEclipse.
In the mean time, till I might get a new video card, I have to deal with this problem.

The strange thing is: the auto-refresh only occurs with MyEclipse (probably in general with java app’s) and only when it’s minimized and maximized.
If I force a resize, the application looks ago again.

So my question: which setting can I specify to the VM to overcome this rendering problem?
I tried the following in the eclipse ini file but without any luck:
—
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
-Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false
-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false
—

Please some advice on how to solve this issue?

Ed,

The issue you are facing is described in this bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=285363

This is an issue with SWT, so most SWT apps will suffer from this, Swing apps most likely will not. Eclipse (and thus MyEclipse) uses SWT for its widgets and so we suffer as well. The variables you set will be ignored as they are swing / awt specific.

As you can see from the thread, it is an old issue that exists even in the upcoming Eclipse 3.8 release. There are some suggestions in comment #34 that might help
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=285363#c34

Other than that I’m sorry but I’m drawing a “blank”.

Thanks a lot.
I searched a long time, but couldn’t find this one 🙁
I just applied the fix and it seems to work… Cooll..

Thanks a lot, and have a good weekend,

Ed,

That’s great news – glad it worked. It took me about an hour of background searching to find this bug, but I knew it was out there.
