[oXygen-user] display refresh on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04)

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza)]

Hello Christian,

What version and build of Oxygen are you using?
What distribution of Oxygen are you using (Linux 32/64-bit .sh installer 
or "All platforms" .tar.gz)?
On what system are you testing this (graphics card is especially relevant)?

We have tested Oxygen v17.1 and v18.0 (Linux 64-bit .sh installer) with 
Ubuntu 16.04 and multiple workspaces on an Intel NUC system (Intel HD 
Graphics), but did not experience any graphical glitches when switching 
workspaces.

Oxygen does not handle the low level rendering of the application 
window. It relies on Java's screen drawing/updating mechanisms to 
perform the window paint/repaint. It appears that on your system Java is 
not aware that the window must be repainted after reactivating the 
workspace. This may also be affected by the graphics card and driver.

Regards,
Adrian
