The JComboBox items are obscured by RSyntaxTextArea in programs created with Java Swing.

This symptom does not occur when running the same program on a mac. It only occurs in the windows environment.

Could someone give me some hint about the solution?

Solution

  • Try using:

    comboBox.setLightWeightPopupEnabled(false);

    See Mixing Lightweight and Heavyweight Components for why this should work.
