For many of the recent releases when I bring the FILE menu down and others it overprints one on the other . If I slide the cursor to the side left or right then go back to the menu it clears itself .
I would suggest a Java layout problem that has been there for quite some time . Do others have this .?
is there a fix?
not on my IDE 1.5.8 on windows 7
Which IDE's do show this on which platform.
be as specific as you can be
please add screenshot
Sorry I did not see your reply
This happens on all releases since about 1.3 , up to 1.6.4 I noticed.
I use Linux and my OS is Puppy Precise 5.7.1
It is a Java issue I think . I'll try to get a screenshot and paste it here.
I have the latest 1.6.5 build now and it does the same .
I still have another java issue which needs the following change to the start script arduino.sh
#-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel processing.app.Base "$@"
java processing.app.Base "$@"
otherwise I cant read the drop down lists or headings as they are so small . Ill put a screenshot of this here too as I suspect they are related
Ive cleaned out the old . Ill see if I can D/L and show one.
Hers is a reappearance of this problem that I caught . Its hard to screenshot it because moving the mouse you loose it
I see you are using Puppy Linux (as I am). I only noticed this problem when I switched from Xubuntu earlier this year.
I haven't bothered to try to see where the problem lies. I am using Oracle Java 1.7.0_03

Is there any progress on this Rob . Its a darn nuisance and appears every time you go to the menus or unplug the serial terminal
Robin2 -Mine is 1.8.0_05 I think
Below is a better example of whats going on

I don't know who you are addressing here.
I suspect if this is just a Puppy Linux problem you will have to live with it - or switch to a different version of Linux. I never had the problem with Xubuntu.
Also, your title "By way of note only" implies that you are providing information and not requesting anything.
I am using Arduino 1.5.6 - with the same problem.
It does not bother me that much because I don't use the Arduino IDE as my code editor - not with Xubuntu or Puppy.
