I'm having some weird problems with the Arduino IDE on a fresh install of Windows 8. The gui just randomly stops updating. The window itself still responds (minimize, maximize, close), but the Menus won't respond, can't scroll text or type in text, and the buttons don't highlight or seem to work when I mouse over them.
I've tried both 1.0.5 and the beta 1.5.4-r2, both installed and just running from a zip. All ways has the same problems.
Anyone else experience this or similar problems and have any work around for them?
