      Description

        Name: rmT116609 Date: 08/11/2004


        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
        java version "1.5.0-beta2"
        Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51)
        Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51, mixed mode, sharing)

        *BUT*

        This occurs for any JDK 1.4+

        ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
        Windows XP
        Windows (Any)

        EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
        My video setup is two NEC MultiSync LCD 1980SX monitors using
        an NVIDIA Quadro NVS graphics card, though this problem would occur in any multi monitor environment.

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        import java.awt.Frame;
        import java.awt.Label;
        import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
        import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
        import java.awt.Button;
        import java.awt.BorderLayout;
        import java.awt.Panel;
        import javax.swing.JFrame;
        import javax.swing.JLabel;
        import javax.swing.JPanel;

        /**
         * Instructions:
         *
         * The following snippet demonstrates a severe performance regression in AWT
         * starting in 1.4 (merlin), and still present in the current version of the JDK
         * (tiger beta 2). In a multimonitor Windows XP environment set up as a single
         * display area (my video setup is two NEC MultiSync LCD 1980SX monitors using
         * an NVIDIA Quadro NVS graphics card), take the window and drag it rapidly
         * between the two monitors. In the AWT program, the event dispatch thread is
         * frozen while all of the surface datas are being recreated in the hierarchy
         * (in Win32SurfaceData.initOps). Note that the Swing program does not exhibit
         * the behavior because it does not have native peers.

        }


        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        See the above code snippet documentation. Drag the window from one monitor to the other. Try to press the button.

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        See the Swing version for bug-free behavior.
        ACTUAL -
        Exponential performance degredation depending on number of levels in the component hierarchy.

        ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
        Stuck in Win32SurfaceData.initOps for all of the components while it exponentially goes through the hierarchy.

        REPRODUCIBILITY :
        This bug can be reproduced always.

        CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
        The fix (WPanelPeer.java) :

        private void recursiveDisplayChanged(Component component)
            {
                if(component instanceof Container)
                {
                    Component acomponent[] = ((Container)component).getComponents();
                    for(int i = 0; i < acomponent.length; i++)
                        recursiveDisplayChanged(acomponent[i]);
                 }
                 
                java.awt.peer.ComponentPeer componentpeer = component.getPeer();
                //sanjiv: added this if condition so that WPanelPeer displayChanged() is not called //which will again call this method
               System.out.println("Component : " + component.getName());
                if(componentpeer != null && (componentpeer instanceof WPanelPeer)){
                 super.displayChanged();
                }
                else
                if(componentpeer != null && (componentpeer instanceof WComponentPeer))
                {
                    WComponentPeer wcomponentpeer = (WComponentPeer)componentpeer;
                    wcomponentpeer.displayChanged();
                }
            }
