Eclipse WindowBuilder Glitch in Text

760 views Asked by At

I'm getting strange results in my Eclipse WindowBuilder whenever I try to run my GUI, the top left area has glitchy text (I don't really know what else to call this problem). I've tried searching everywhere but apparently no one else is getting this problem.

Problems with the image: Display is being displayed as Displa, 'Search' is scrambled.

I've tried creating a new project, tried reinstalling eclipse, deleting all my eclipse metafiles, redownloading WindowBuilder, I even uninstalled Java JDK and Java from my computer and reinstalled it.

I'm running

Windows 7 Ultimate Service pack 1 64bit.
Java 8 Update 25 (64-bit).
Java SE Development Kit Update 25 (64-bit).
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1)
Build id: 20140925-1800

Here is my using WindowBuilder process to give you guys an insight, as I maybe doing something wrong: Create a new project, creating new application window under WindowBuilder. Go to design, add JTabbedPane in the center, and then add JPanel(s), apply GridBagLayout under all of my tabs and then add regardless of what element I put, the first element is always affected by this glitch and so are the tabs themselves affected.

I've tried supplied all the information I can please ask me if you want to know more to try to help me figure out what is wrong.

My layout of GridBagLayout:

Other notes: I've also noticed that even after clean and fresh installs sometimes or often whenever I add a new element to my GUI after reopening or anything I get a big error and have to spam "Reparse" button a few times before I can go back to editing.

UPDATE: I also noticed if I type anything in the text fields it will glitch out and I won't be able to see what I'm typing.

I never got to updating this question with an answer, the solution was running Eclipse using the Nvidia Graphics card rather than Integrated.

Same problem, got it after I downloaded and installed JavaJDK. Not sure how to fix it other then just try to resize the window a few times, and you might be able to see what it says. Also I by browser doesn't detect my java install.

EDIT: I found this: Swing rendering appears broken in JDK 1.8, correct in JDK 1.7 I did what the best answer said and it worked :) And yes, indeed I have NVIDIA GeForce driver and java 8 installed (that is why).

I am from norway so the text is as well... Just try to click on what I have clicked on :) https://i.stack.imgur.com/xK6wD.png
