The other day, I searched for a free UML editor tool, and as it turns out the best of them are implemented using the popular Swing framework, in Java. As it turns out, Windows 8.1 has some serious problems with text rendering for Swing applications. Let me show a few examples:
In a different Swing application:
The labels on almost everything look like, this, they keep flickering, and randomly disappearing partially. I never experienced something like this on any other Windows version.
Is this a common problem? If so, is there a way to fix this, without me, having access to the source of these applications?
I'm using:
- Lenovo G500s notebook
- Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
- I have both JDK and JRE1.7 installed.
If I'm posting, this question on the bad Stack exchange site, please advise, where to ask it!
