Bug 01

The user interface components in the tab panel do not update correctly.

Description

There seems to be a problem with mixing heavy-weight Java3D gui components with light-weight Java Swing components. Mixing them together in an application results in gui update problems.

Machine

This problem only occurs on MS Windows. Linux appears to work fine.

Reproduce the Problem

The problem can be reproduced as follows:

Load a volume.
In the "Volume Scene Editor", select the "Display" tab.
Rotate the volume.

The contents of the "Display" tab will flash back and forth with the contents of the "Color Map" tab.

Solution

This problem can be fixed by simply running the NetBeans application in the background. Starting NetBeans seems to change the Java runtime environment so that the gui update problem goes away.
