[SOLVED] Blank windows while they should have content.

Hi,

I have a major issue, I experience it all the time with BlueJ (which is a Java learning environment I have to use for the university)
I don't think it's application related since I also encouterd it in Geany (which I can't say if still occurs since I stopped using).
As I said, I should be getting content in the window but instead I get a blank window (example Image added).
I'm using gnome with Compiz and emerald.

I will be more than glad to get your help.

Thank you.

Re: [SOLVED] Blank windows while they should have content.

I had this issue before using Compiz on ubuntu. I think it is related to running out of video memory perhaps?

How can I know if it's the problem?
And if it is, how can I fix it?

Try turning off complz and check if the problem recurs. BTW some
Java problems have problems with Compiz I think.

If the problem does not come w/o compiz then it's a problem
with either low VRAM or improper graphics acceleration.

Are you using an nVidia video Card?

Re: [SOLVED] Blank windows while they should have content.

And if it's a low VRAM issue what should I do?
turn off some compiz plugins?

Well, it looks as though there are compiz problems tied to Swing apps AND nVidia Drivers, so you should consider googling solutions for both. Try these links for now:

Thanks, the second solution (link) fixed it (though I only tested it for a minute).
For now, I flag the topic as SOLVED, with hope I won't run in to it again.

Thanks.
