Hello Netbeans people. This is not a question for Netbeans itself, but I know there are a lot of clever people here who may be able to give me a pointer or two, so please look away if this question might offend. I hope it doesn't. :)
My program uses Swing. It outputs text to a window. The output is attached. At a particular point (the line is highlighted in the attached screenshot) the output begins to wobble; that is, the line spacing becomes uneven and (perhaps) even characters appear to be squashed.
Now, I thought this might be something to do with how quickly the output is produced (it is produced very quickly - those numbers are time measurements in nanoseconds) and how competing threads might cause the Swing GUI innards to lose their grip somehow, but when I tried wrapping some of my code within synchronised blocks, I didn't see any improvement.
Surely I think to myself things like this have been done before. Does anyone know how I might be able to stop this wobbling?
Thanks,
Owen.
