Oracle SQL Developer screen redraw glitch

Perform the following steps to fix the redraw, or screen refresh, bug that can occur in Oracle SQL Developer when used on Windows Vista and Windows 7. They occur for example when scrolling horizontally or vertically through the records of a table when the records don't fit the window.

Start with just the sqldeveloper.conf adjustment. If that doesn't fix it, then perform all steps.

Steps to solve the issue:

  • Add or replace the attribute of the following config file.
    ..\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf
    AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
  • Install the most recent jdk.

    Select the Java SE Development Kit (JDK). At this time, JDK 6 Update 16 is the most recent version. Install it in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16
  • Add or replace the attributes of the following config files.
    ..\ide\bin\jdk.conf
    SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16
    ..\ide\bin\ide.conf
    AddVMOption -Xmx256M
    AddVMOption -Dsun.awt.keepWorkingSetOnMinimize=true

    This is nice... thanks for the tip.
    I would also add, that it's worth a try using Jrockit as JVM, it feels in any case faster.
