Our swing application works fine in desktops, but in laptops, in some screens the display starts messing up, especially when user enters some value in textfields and tab off. Looks to me a repaint issue. Why does this happen in laptops alone.
Any ideas?

maybe the reason is the difference in the screen resolution on lap tops. if the frame on the laptop is smaller than on a bigger monitor, and the layout is not created properly it might get messed up.
to check whether this is the case, you could change the screen resolution of the desktops to that of the laptops and see what happens?
cheers,
chantal

This is not coz' of laptop LCD screens. This sometime happens on the desktop monitors too. The reason is coz' of windows system files. Listen what had happened with me:
I was using two OS ( Windows98 and WindowsNT) dual booting on my PC. The java application windows(JFrame, JDialog) messed up in Windows98 while that same application runs smoothly on windowsNT. So, what do you think?

What about the OS and JVM versions? Are they exactly the same for the desktop and laptop systems?

What about the desktop machines? Do they have the same JVM version, OS version, and screen resolution?

Could be a graphics card issue.
