--- Comment #16 from bugs.freedesktop.org.674292@mstier.de --- It is still there in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (up-to-date). Here, too, is a pretty recent nvidia (GTX 660) at work with proprietary drivers (v304.116). All standard setup coming with the distro, but using the gome classic 2d desktop.
See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/1032936 and https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243407.
A workaround is -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true.
The problem is pretty easily reproducible by installing Netbeans und opening the file dialog (native or metal theme), going into a large folder like /usr/share and scrolling right. You see it immediately. You can barely browse ANYTHING AT ALL.
One hint: it is *NOT* appearing via "ssh otherUserNotRunningX@localhost -Y .../bin/netbeans", even when explcitily setting sun.java2d.opengl to false.
