[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Screen patches, still occuring?

["Robert B" <oh1226@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can produce much ugly screens leass than 10 seconds.
It happens everywhere, full of them on scrollbar, canvases, etc.
If you wish, I can send a sample very ugly screenshot, why this bug
makes heavyly charged programs simply undeliverable.

I tried with painting threads. But GCs get "disposed".
So no use.

In the past I shayed away with SWT. Recently I converted
a few systems before I can convert the whole big thing. Everything
was wonderful. I could make very nice systems that I never dreamed of
in AWT/Swing (This is not a hype!) But when I realized how
serious this thing actually was, whole thing stopped!

Hope this can be fixed very soon.
