Hi,

I have consistently found that Java windows are more
fragile to repainting problems than other mainstream applicationson Windows
NT4-SP3.

For example, I start up a couple of JFrames with a menu
bar and a colored background.   Then I quickly drag
anther window on top of the Java frames.  Before long
there are unpainted spots on the Java frames, but the
rest of the applications look just fine.

Sometimes the only way I can get the frame to fix itself
is to resize it or drag another frame in front of it.

Does anybody know why?  Is this a bug in the JDK (AWT),
or Swing?

I'm seeing this with JDK1.1.7B using Swing 1.1.1beta1
and with Swing 1.1.1beta2, and with JDK1.2.

We are skeptical of using this for a production-quality
product; our customers are paying good money and expect
the screen to look professional.

Any recommendations?
Keith
