jEdit doesn't like Compiz Fusion and desktop effects

Submitted by AzizLight on Monday, 1 December, 2008 - 01:48

Hi everybody,
I am using Ubuntu 8.10 and jEdit 4.3pre16. I realised that jEdit doesn't work well with Desktop Effects. I already had minor bugs with v4.3pre15 in Ubuntu 8.04 (windows went all white - by windows I mean popup windows, ie: when I try to change the syntax highlighting - that's not really minor...) but now it just got worse :S This screenshot will describe the situation very well:

Sure. NP.

The bashrc one should have worked though. Did you log out and back in again after you put it in there?

Unless you start up jEdit from the command-line, you would need to log out and back in again to see the affects of adding it to your bashrc (I think).

Regardless, glad it worked for you.

Cheers.
