Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10. The most java applications' components aren't shown. The application's functionalities work normally.

I made a video and posted in YouTube (http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl-bq3_nOk0). in the video, I open Netbeans, click where should be the File menu, press Arrow Left to go to the Help menu, press Arrow Up to go to the About option and press enter tho show the About Window.

Versions of java tested: 1.4.2, java5 and java6 from Ubuntu repositories and also java 5 SDK from Java site.

Applications that present this problem: Netbeans, ArgoUML.

Freemind also has problems, but looks like this othe bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/93690

Eclipse works fine and ArgoUML plugin for Eclipse works fine too. When creating my self applications in Eclipse using Java Swing, the problem persists. Translating these applications to Java Awt the components are shown properly.

Thanks for your bugreport.
The problem you described is likely a problem of compiz. Are you running compiz? If yes could you try if you are able to reproduce the bug without compiz running? You could disable compiz via preferences, appearance. Also you might try the compiz workarounds for java. Thanks

You can disable compiz and run your java applications fine.
