Running Version: 5.0.1 GA

All checkboxes in the dialog boxes or the Preferences window either show up black, or if they show up white, they will not display a check when you click on them. The checkboxes work, but you cannot see the checkmark visually. You have to guess if the checkbox is selected.
Earlier versions of MyEclipse and Eclipse worked just fine on this machine. Problem started when I upgraded both MyEclipse and Eclipse.
Thanks
I’m having a hard time understanding what you are reporting exactly, can you post a screenshot by chance? Also if it’s a rendering issue, please try and upgrade your graphics drivers to the newest release. You’d be surprised how readily SWT and to a greater extend, Swing expose rendering bugs in drivers.
You are correct. The error is in rendering. The problem coinincided with the install of 5.0.1GA. An upgrade of my driver worked. The curious thing was that the Swing application I am developing which uses checkboxes worked fine, but Eclipse did not. This post should be closed and thank you for your time.
I’ve got the the same problem. Checkboxes on Preferences list screens such as installed java engines are all blank or solid black in 5.0.1 GA but not in 4.1.1 or in another modern Java based IDE. I have been unable to find any newer driver for my NVIDIA VANTA card. Any other suggestions?
You can try updating your version of Java you have installed that you are using to run MyEclipse with. You can verify the version installed from the MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details screen (near the top, version of Java is shown).
Very interesting. I’m not sure what I did, but I did visit the Preferences, General, Appearance, Colors and Fonts, Basic and selected Text Font and clicked Change and then Cancel and closed the Preferences screen. Now, on going back to Preferences, the checkboxes on the Installed JREs and Capabilities screens are visible.
My fix was temporary. But the issue appears to be with Eclipse. I created a separate directory with just Eclipse 3.2.1 rather than MyEclipse 5.0.1GA with Eclipse 3.2. Neither installation is showing checks in checkboxes in variable lists such as Installed JREs and nothing I have tried has brought back the checks that I was seeing for that brief period yesterday afternoon.
