I have been experiencing a strange issue in Flex Builder 3 where certain dialogs such as the Add New Project wizard and the SVN Commit dialog are completely empty save for the title area.
I'm running Flex Builder v3.0 (build 3.02.2.214193) on the Windows 7 RC. I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Flex Builder to no avail. I don't think it's Windows 7 causing the issues because it was working a couple of months ago with no problems. Even more strange is that I have not installed any additional plugins or made any configuration changes to Flex Builder between the time before these problems began and now.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so, know of any solutions?
Here are a couple of screenshots to illustrate the behaviour.

You are probably running Logitech SetPoint. Try killing all setpoint processes. (you don't even have to restart flex). It worked for me :-S
According to this Adobe forums post, there are multiple causes:
SetPoint (as indicated by Scheea)
Wacom Tablet drivers
In addition, comments suggest the following:
UltraMon
These seem to suggest that the cause is any program which monitors keystrokes or mouse movement.
Workaround: In the new wizard dialog above, note the question mark on the bottom left (the help button). When you click on the help button a help panel is added to the dialog on the right separated from the main dialog by a splitter. When you drag the splitter the rest of the dialog appears. You may need to scroll to a position where you can see all of its contents, but it should become usable. Resizing the dialog alone was not sufficient for me.
In addition, I couldn't fully use the mouse to select elements so I had to type into the filter field in order for the correct projects to show up.
I had the issue with Window7 x64 Ultimate with FB3 Pro and shutting down Set Point seems to have fixed the issue.
For me it was Set Point and Display Fusion (allows you to set up multiple background images as wallpaper on multiple monitors). Took a lot of hair pulling to figure this out.

I am using Eclipse Neon2 on Mac. Text in code editor has render problem and overlaps on scroll. When I select all the text (cmd+a) it re renders and solves the problem. But when I re scroll it overlaps again.
I couldn't find a solution on internet.
How can I solve this.
Please check the screenshot.
I think it is a bug in Eclipse 489383. There are plenty of similar issues were reported and closed as duplicated, but this one is still open and, as I understand, targeted for version 4.6. There is a simple workaround that has helped in some cases (in mine it did help): export GTK3=0 before starting eclipse.
The project I'm developing for recently switched to .Net4.5 and Visual Web GUI 10.0.4 and a context menu item that works in Firefox doesn't work in IE11 (our official supported' browser).
I can't post images here yet, so here's a link:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/oIEca4l.png[/img]
notice that the firefox windows has 'invoice together' while the IE window has arrows in a box, and that's it.
Here are all the properites for the menu item:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/vHB4Ak6.png[/img]
The only reference to it in the code is displaying a message box when the 'invoice together' is clicked.
I'm thinking it's an IE display issue, but I'm curious to know if anyone knows a way to fix it?
Thanks
I experienced the same or most probably very similar issue on one of several virtual machines. I have content menu on ListView control. There was no visible menu items' text and there were left and right arrow sliders on the menu.
The web site worked fine on FF, Chrome. Interesting thing was that this context menu problem was not reproduced on other virtual machines with IE11. Only on single one. IE version 11.0.9600.18053 / 11.0.24 (kb3093983) was used on all test machines.
I noticed a slight difference in font's rendering also. Font's size seems smaller.
What I did was applying back IE's default settings and restarting client's machine. This somehow fixed the context menu and font's rendering.
My self explanation is that something in "get font and render it" communication between browser and client OS went wrong. From this came wrong looking menu with sliders.
Hope this helps!
Reduce fonts size on IE, it would help.

I just upgraded a project from VS2010 to VS2013. On certain forms I can no longer use the mouse to move or resize controls. In some cases when attempting this VS2013 locks up
It's not just the controls either. I can't use the mouse to resize a "sizable" form. I also can't drop new controls on the form. I can however use shift arrow keys to resize the form and key in the size I want under properties. No I'm not debugging. Yes I have my snap to grid settings the way I want them. No I don't have controls "locked". This is clearly a phenomenon with VS2013. Occasionally, by futsing around with it the form seems to fix itself and the mouse actions function as normal. But as soon as I exit VS2013 and restart it, the ability to use the mouse on a form in design mode is hosed again. The issue seems worse on forms with many controls but can occur on any form.
As an experiment I created a new plain Jane form in VS2013 and dropped a couple buttons on it. I was able to resize the form with the mouse and do whatever I needed. However, when I exited VS and restarted it, The form exhibited the same behavior as my converted forms, in that I could no longer resize it or move my controls around.
I believe the issue is with the IDE and I'm forced to roll back to VS2010 so I can actually continue development.
I do also have VS2010 installed on the same PC which is suppose to be fine and dandy so I'm wondering it there is in fact some sort of conflict occurring.
If someone has some new insight on this I would love for you to share.
Thanks and happy coding,
Chris
The Install New Software option used for adding plug-ins has suddenly started to show "invisible" lists such that it's not possible to see what you're selecting. How could I fix this?
A few searches have shown that this may be linked to a bug with GTK but running export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true does not seem to fix the issue. One clue that something is wrong is this message in the terminal:
** (Eclipse:2005): CRITICAL **: murrine_style_draw_box: assertion 'height >= -1' failed
See this link. I was successful in solving the same problem for myself.
Blake Bond CLA 2012-05-24 10:56:37 EDT Deleting .metadata or .eclipse
folders is unacceptable of course, since it removes all workspace
customizations. Removing only the following two invalid settings
solved the problem for me.
Close Eclipse.
Find a file named .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui/dialog_settings.xml in
your workspace.
Open the file with a text editor and find a section named AvailableIUsPage.
Remove the following strings:
<item value="0" key="AvailableVersionColumnWidth"/>
<item value="0" key="AvailableNameColumnWidth"/>
Save the file and launch Eclipse.
This is what triggers the bug in my case.
Help > Install New Software
Work with: Indigo
Entering any letter in the filter bar makes Eclipse hang with 100% CPU use for a minute or so.
If interrupted with ESC, the window simply disappears and there are no columns in available updates view after this anymore.
This dialog change is saved upon exit making the problem permanent.
I've finally found a solution. If none of the solutions mentionned in the link on the comment above work for you then simply change the workspace to another location. If the list of items appears properly then there's probably an issue with the workspace you're using and not with Eclipse. Import your projects over and dispose of the old workspace.

I cannot use install new software using "help -> install new software" in Eclipse (both 4.2 and 3.8) after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.04. The panel below the Name/Version bar appears to be missing (or too small) to list the available software. When scrolling on the side of the missing panel, it is possible to see a handful of rows of pixels change, which I believe are the items in the list of available software scrolling past. It is not possible tell for sure, however, becasue if the panel exists at all, it is likely only a few pixel rows high. This is true with both Eclicps 4.2 (which I installed manually) and Eclispe 3.8 (which I installed from the Ubuntu Software Center after removing Eclipse 4.2).
I have found two contributing factors to this problem. First, I noticed that the Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software window was not maximized. Maximinzing the window provided enough vertical height for item in the list to be displayed. I would prefer to see several items in the list, rather than only a single item in the list at a time, but at least it is possible to select packages to install. Second, I was using the defalt Nouveau display driver. I noticed that the computer screen scrolled when moving the cursor between the top and bottom of the screen. This occured because the Nouveau driver appartently cannot support my screen resolution (i.e., 1366 X 768). Installing the NVIDIA binary display driver and selecting the proper resolution eliminated the need for the screen to scroll.
I have to use eclipse 3.1. I'm using it in an Ubuntu 11.04 VM (VMWare). It seems that every view I use is initially blank/empty until I close and reopen it. This is annoying but I can deal with it.
The problem is this trick doesn't work with the view for source code files.
Has anyone ever seen a similar issue? Are there any work-arounds?
I don't know if it is related. But the main menu is also initially missing. If I resize the application window, the main menu reappears.
This is a known issue with newer Linux desktops when using older versions of Eclipse.
The GTK widget set changed the default way it renders widgets. This causes versions of Eclipse that were compiled against the old GTK library to experience empty views like you saw as well as problems with ignoring some mouse clicks on buttons.
If you set this environment variable before launching Workbench then it should resolve the problem:
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
I verified this on Ubuntu 11.04 with Workbench 2.6 and the problem went away after I set the variable.
Best regards,
Rob
