Help on strange painting behaviour
I'm developing an application with JDK 1.6. Today the whole application (consisting of 5 different panels) was suddenly painted black (with borders and menus and all). Repainting improved it, but there still were some black spots.
After restarting my pc it was ok again.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? A bug? Or a graphics driver problem? Or anything else?
When is a panel usually painted completely black? When there isn't set explicitly a color to paint in?
I'm thankful for any hints :-)

Me, because it might happen again. It's an e-learning environment which will be available for download, should I just write on the homepage "Oh, and I forgot to mention, if everything goes black suddenly, just reboot your pc, that might help"? :-/

Ive had the same things happen with 1.6 update 1
not just on my own programs but in programs such as netbeans

Why not? Microsoft does it.... :P
Out of curiosity has it happened again? Has it happened on someone elses computer?

Not in that way, but when it happened to me, it was an hardware acceleration issue. When a volatile image is not repainted after graphic context as been reset by graphic card, this is happening. Try to update GC drivers, there is some regression in NVidia drivers. It may help, but it may not...
