Java1.4.1_01 redraw problem with multiple JVM instances

Hereby a use case, source code, binaries and screen-shots of the Sun Solaris
8/Sparc Java RE-DRAW problem.

This bug leads to "wiped-out" windows if multiple Java instances are run at one
X-Server - even if direct graphics access is disabled.
Below one will find a trivial application, which will reveal the re-draw error
after some resizing and moving around of application windows.
Several instances of this application have to be started.

Some patience may be needed to observe this bug.
More complex applications will reveal this bug much easier.

ISSUE: SOLARIS REDRAW PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE JAVA INSTANCES


RELEASE:
Java SDK release 1.4.0_01 - build 1.4.0_01-b03, Solaris/Sparc 8 w/ recommended
J2SE patchset cluster Aug 23.


COMPILE : <JDK140_01-HOME>/bin/javac WindowRedrawTest.java
JAR w/src: <JDK140_01-HOME>/bin/jar cf redrawtest.jar Window*.*
EXECUTE : <JDK140_01-HOME>/bin/java -cp redrawtest.jar WindowRedrawTest


USE CASE:

Start several instances of WindowRedrawTest. Each application consists of two
window. Resize the windows and drag them around.
A re-draw error will persist if the scrambled window is dragged around then. A
screenshot can be taken easily - see below.

Window content may be restored if some overlap is forced by another window.

The error is re-produced easier if three instances are used.
If a re-draw error has been achived once - further ones may be observered with
less effort. Also one application instance may be closed then.
It seems that this bug has some persistence then.


COMMENT:

More complex multi-windowed applications seem to reveal this error much easier!
