I think it has started since 3.2 RC3, that when I open the 'run' dialog by choosing 'run..' from the menu to run a launch configuration, it comes up full of 'cheese': In the middle of the run dialog I can see a block of text from the editor behind the dialog; also the text field with label 'test class' cuts of the test class' name to 35 characters, the rest of the field is blank. I don't know if it matters but I am using the '2.1 style' layout.
Created attachment 41982 [details] an example of a run dialog with 'cheese'
Thank you for the bug report but I have been unable to reproduce the problem on build I20060519-0010 on WinXP.
I just upgraded to RC5 and the problem is still there. It is there both in 2.1 style layout and in the normal layout. I upgraded by completely removing my old eclipse directory and replacing it by the downloaded version. Only my workspace is still the same.
Moving to JUI. The Junit page is owned by JDT-UI.
Looks like an SWT problem. Our JUnitMainTab uses a ComboViewer, which is just a Combo + some update logic. It's in a GridLayout with GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL. The Combo has been added for 3.2 RC2. I also cannot reproduce on WinXP (but I don't have access to a Win2000 machine). Moving to SWT. A problem could be that the parent CTabFolder uses SWT.NO_REDRAW_RESIZE (in LaunchConfigurationTabGroupViewer).
I can't reproduce this in 3.2RC5 on win2000. Can you think of any other steps preceeding the opening of the Run dialog that affect whether the problem appears for you or not? Taking ownership of report for now since I have the only win2000 install around here, but it's hard to investigate if I can't reproduce it.
I get the problem every time I open a 'run' dialog. Even after I have just installed a new RC, like last Sunday (I installed RC6). The first thing I did was open the run dialog to see if anything had been fixed but the 'cheese' was still there ..
FYI: I went back to Eclipse 3.1.2 and there the run dialog comes up normally.
Does the cheese stay when you open the combo's menu and when you resize the dialog or change to another tab and back? I don't know too much about win2000, but the dialog's minimize and maximize buttons look "custom" to me. Do you use some Windows extensions that could cause the redraw problems?
If I remember well the cheese would eventually go away if I resized the dialog. I will check it when I have time, I am now using 3.1.2 again (because of other bugs in 3.2). Yes I am using a Windows add-on called 'multi-mon'. It adds 2 extra buttons to every window which are handy if you use 2 monitors like me. (I have checked as well if I had the bug because I had 2 monitors so I disconnected one, but the problem stayed)
Grant, I'm able to replicate this problem on my win2k machine if you want to drop by to see it. This problem recently got worse when I try to resize the Run dialog. When I try to resize the dialog, I would lose focus of the dialog. Then, I can't close it when I try to press the "x". I was finally able to close it by clicking around (to other windows) and then click back on the dialog. It makes the run dialog almost unusable.
This problem appears to be fixed in 3.4M4. I run dialog works now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 142965 ***
