In jVI for Netbeans, the cursor won't appear - vim

Depending on the font I use, I might see a quarter of a cursor (lower right rectangle not flashing) in the wrong place, or no cursor at all. Still, the line I'm on highlights and the column number is displayed in the lower right.
I've tried a mix of fixed-width fonts at a mix of sizes (11-14), including the default Monospace, MacVim's Menlo, the awful Courier, and another q-a site's suggested Consolas.
Any ideas how to get the cursor to show up would be great. Alternate ways to get Vi keybindings in NetBeans also acceptable, though it seems jVi is the most current / active effort.
NetBeans 7.1.2
EDIT:
Image showing no cursor with highlighting
Image showing actually two partial cursors, which I'd never seen before:


There is a problem with the Mac Retina, which is like this problem. The latest jVi release has a workaround, you need to turn on the option
Tools > Options > jViConfig > Platform > MacRetinaCursorXorBug


I had the same problem in Netbeans 8.0.2. Workaround for this is to disable following option:
Tools->Options->jVi config->platform->use modal frame
I found the solution here which solves other problems with cursor too. I hope this will help you.
Cheers


ubuntu - 14.04
java 1.7.0_121
netbeans - 8.2
jvi - 1.5.4
i had the same issue and 'use model frame' was already enabled. Enabling 'MacRetinaCursorXorBug' fixed the issue. i have set the frequency of the cursor to 500 to be on the safer side.


Enabling the option MacRetinaCursorXorBug under Tools > Options > jViConfig > Platform was the only working solution for me among a bunch of other suggested workarounds. So it's important to mention that this setting could be required even on non Mac Systems.
(Tested on environment: Netbeans IDE 8.0.2, Ubuntu 15.04 with Kernel 3.19.0-16, XFCE-Desktop 4.12, VirtualBox 4.3.28)


Setting the blink rate to 500 as suggested by develucas fixed this for me on Ubuntu and Netbeans 8.1, though it still disappears whilst moving it reappears shortly after it becomes stationary, makes jvi useable again.

sqldeveloper on hidpi linux

I have sqldeveloper 18.2 installation on hidpi machine (xps 9370 with 4k display) and it's unusable due to scaling issues.
I have tried to launch it using different options:
As is - interface icons and fonts too small
As is increasing interface font - text overlapping makes it unusable
Using gdk_scale with Java9
Using -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2 with Java8
It seems points 3 and 4 do scaling but with glitches making it unusable again.
Glitch example
I'd like to stick with 4k resolution as it really has difference vs fullhd
I will appreciate if you can direct me where to dig or resolve the issue at all
Thank you!

Append to /opt/oracle-sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf the following: AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2 and it should work.

I've found solution! Just set -Dsun.java2d.xrender=true and sqldeveloper launched with almost no glitches.
File: {install_dir}/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf
There is some interesting point. "Show on startup" checkbox on welcome page is accessible while -Dsun.java2d.opengl is set to true. But this option leads to major ui drawing glitches

Pen Width font turning to White automatically (Jaspersoft Studio 6.4 Arch Linux Gnome)

Im having some glitching issues while using JasperSoft Studio. (using the latest version from the AUR).Im using GNOME.
Steps to reproduce :
Add Text Field. Select it.
Go to Properties -> Borders -> Click on a border on the square.
The Pen Width (1.0 by default) appears for an instant and then "disappears" (Its still there as I can select it but i think the font color becomes white)
This can be temprorarily resolved by going to preferences and toggling the theme from classic -> GTK or vice versa. The resolution exists only for the current report and does not remain for other opened reports. Really annoying bug.
Ive tried Adwaita and GTK other themes etc...but no use. The bug persists.
I have a version 6.1.1 of Jaspersoft Studio on another machine running the latest UBUNTU GNOME and it works near perfectly.I tried running this version of Jasper on arch using various settings but it stops working as soon as I open a JRXML file. Nothing is clickable and I have to kill the process. I am guessing its a GTK issue.
I dont want to go back to using Ubuntu as I love the Arch experience. Can someone help me to run the AUR version of Arch without this glitch.
And if you think 6.1.1 should run fine on Arch...can someone help me overcome the GTK issue (Ive already tried export SWT_GTK3=0; but it doesnt work)
Thanks.

Try editing the runjss.sh script (probably in /opt/jaspersoftstudio) and add the line
export SWT_GTK3=0
Then try running JSS via that script and see if it helps.
I haven't had the same issue as you but I've been having a lot of Gnome-related problems and I'm using the same combination as your - Arch (Manjaro) and Gnome with JasperSoft Studio 6.4.3. Works perfectly since I added that line.
You can also edit the .desktop file to exec runjss instead of the default exec line.

MyEclipse's accelerate keyszoom in(ctrl+-) and zoom out(ctrl+=) are invalid

I use myeclipse (version :myeclipse-2015-stable-3.0 or myeclipse-2016-ci-7) in windows 7, and I want to zoom in/out the fonts while editing by accelerate keys ctrl+ =/-,but they don't work.
I don't want to use the way that windows--preference--color and fonts--...to change fonts size because it isn't convenient,there is no accelerate keys confilcts also,and after changing accelerate keys,they still don't work.
Any ways to solve this problem?

Those commands don't seem to be defined in the General->Keys preferences page, for text editing, but even though they are defined in eclipse Mars (on which MyEclipse 2016 is based), they don't work there either. I can't find an eclipse bug for that, though there probably should be one.
However, I did find a solution, if you're willing to update to MyEclipse 2017 (the CI stream or the Stable stream), since the zoom function works fine there.

eclipse has bugs with showing code complementation and the cursor

Heys guys,
I just installed eclipse with e(fx)clipse and got some problems with the exspecially the layout. First of all the cursor does not being visually updated when doing horizontally movements(vertically works just fine). But this is only visually, when I edit the code it is on the correct position.
Aswell I have to click on the error warning at the line numbers to get the code complementation window longer then about 0.1 seconds. But even the it only shows up in the left top corner.
At last I have to close eclipse in the console or it will just freeze.
OS: Arch Linux always updated,
Eclipse: Version 4.5.1, java version,
Java: java-8-openjdk
Installed plugins: e(fx)clipse.
Hope you guys can help me,
Armin

So guys,
I figured out the solution for myself. The problem is GTK. With disabling it all the problem were solved. To do this start eclipse with the command line:
SWT_GTK3=0 eclipse
Sadly I have not yet found out how to do this permanently, but I will edit this answer as soon as I find out.

Can't Copy & Paste in Eclipse 3.5

I recently updated my Eclipse to the latest release 3.5 and since then I have a very annoying problem with c&p using the shortcuts.
In an editor (xml, jsp, doesn't matter which one) I try to copy something and paste it somewhere else, nothing happens. When I cut out something and put it somewhere else I sometimes get something else (like a messed up part of my previous selection) or just some whitespaces. This gets even worse when I change lines in between.
First I thought that my keyboard is probably broken but it works just fine in other programs. Then I tried using the context menus' c&p and there it works. Yesterday I managed to get at least an error message when I tried to copy a file in the navigator from one project to another (the message was just "error using copy...bla". no details).
Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?
I am running on Kubuntu 9.04, and have quite some plugins installed (but only from the Galileo Updates Site), like Birt, Mylin, WST, or Subversive.

For my problem, I had to go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing, and uncheck "Update imports"

This must be related to the key mapping, since those shortcuts are defined according to context.
(Column "When", in Preferences / General / Keys)
Check if those shortcuts do not work for any editor (do they work for Java editor?)
If they work for some editor, not for other, then some plugin settings must have re-affected them to another command.

This is caused by various X clipboard managers doing weird things with the clipboard. (bug report).
In XFCE the clipman applet was rolled in XFCE 4.8, and will be the source of these problems.
To fix this in XFCE - kill xfce4-settings-helper. You will need to use Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Session to kill it, as otherwise it may restart automatically.
To prevent this starting next time, you will need to remove it from your startup/login programs in Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart.

Problem was solved with newer Eclipse releases. I think >= 3.6. Depending on your distribution there may be a (back)port of this (not on my Xubuntu 11.04) within the repositories.
So a tarball installation of Eclipse 4.0 works perfectly for me. Cut&Paste works and I am lucky that my plugins are compatible to 4.0.
Unfortunately Sublime Text has the same problems.

I read somewhere that in KDE maybe Klipper / "Klipper on the panel" conflicts with eclipse copy action.
It's a tool for clipboard history. Try to remove that! It may solve your problem :-/
For me the xfce4-settings-helper killing worked.

Workaround:
You can cut&paste from the compare view. So simply compare the un-copyable file (e.g., local history) with a different version and Control-C what you need there.

In the *.java editor page, right click and select open in text editor. Past your snippet there. Your Snippet will show in the *.java page'

I use Eclipse Kepler for PHP development. It's dumb I know.
None of the solutions suggested here has solved this source of frustration.
I can confirm the copy function works whether shortcut keys are bound or not. As I can copy from eclipse and paste into any other application. Except eclipse.
My solution. Accidental discovery: Eclipse Kepler will allow you to paste outside the php open and close tags and allow you to click and drag the highlighted block of content into into position.
Acceptable solution for small bits of code. Horribly crippling for larger development environments.

For Xming, this resolved the problem for me. In XLaunch uncheck Clipboard (clipboard manager) in the "Specify parameter settings" GUI form.
