I am using Java Web Start FCS build, you can get it from
/usr/local/java/javaws1.0.1/bundles

This happens on Solaris.

First, after you install JWS in your home dir, you have to
let JWS application manager to use merlin JRE. To do this,
modify the javaws/javaws.cfg file so that it contains
the following setting:

javaws.cfg.jre.0.platform=1.4
javaws.cfg.jre.0.product=1.4.0-beta
javaws.cfg.jre.0.location=http\://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se
javaws.cfg.jre.0.path=/usr/local/java/jdk1.4/solsparc/bin/java

(Use above setting to replace old value.)

Now you can start JWS. After started JWS, JWS will hang for about
2-3 mins, this is due to another network problem. Wait after that,
select File->Preferences, In General tab, set proxy to be none.
(This will bypass that network problem in the following execution.)
Then click ok.

Now, you are in JWS Application manager, Try to click that
less detail button, (after you click it, it will becomes more detail
button.) Each time you click it , the app manager will resize, and
so far it could be fine.

Now at the 'less detail' button stage, try to resize the window
vertically, now click less detail button, you will see the wierd
display.

This display is actually failed due to some repaint problem. If you
use another window to cover it (or use whatever method) to cause
repaint, the application manager will restore good display.

This will only happen on merlin, if you change above
jre.0.path to other jre, this won't happen.
