[Bug 814239] [NEW] Java causes compiz/X11 to freeze

 

Public bug reported:

Hello,

I use Matlab regularly, which uses its own JVM to provide a lot of
functionality. For a while now, if I run compiz (using gnome classic),
and I use a particular program in matlab which makes use of Java, all
the windows on the desktop would lose its borders (suggesting a compiz
crash), and sometimes I wouldn't be able to interact with the windows at
all (the only solution is to reboot).

I'm afraid that because matlab is propietary, I can't provide you with a
reliable way to reproduce this, but I can confirm that is not related to
it shipping its own JVM: if I make matlab use the Sun JRE, the freeze
occurs anyway. I've also noticed random freezes when leaving my computer
unattended.

All the freezes go away if I run metacity instead.

All the best.
