FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_03-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_03-b02, mixed mode)

(1.4.1_02 had the same problem.)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
Latest updates applied.  Updated to latest DirectX version (problem existed
before update too).

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
  Toshiba Tecra 8200, Trident Video Accelerator CyberBlade-XP
Problem happens with original display adapter driver and with latest
driver v5.8125.22.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When I run a Java application, the application fails to redraw properly.  For
example, the area around the cursor will be wrong, menus will not appear
or will be partially drawn, window moved offscreen and onscreen will not
fully redraw, checkboxes will be drawn with old state.  This renders all the
commercial Java applications I try to run unusable. (Cape Clear editor,
Bind Systems editor, Ponder toolkit).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Start a Java application.
2. Click-and-hold-button on window banner.
3. Slide window offscreen and onscreen.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Window redraws properly.
ACTUAL -
Window is partially redrawn with vertical gray stripes and undrawn parts.
Redrawn parts are not aligned properly.  Window is unreadable.  (Screen
shot available on request.)

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced often.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Go to Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced,
Troubleshooting.  Move Hardware acceleration
slider to notch 3 of 6 (Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D accelerations).
