Bad screen redrawing in Oracle SQL Developer

Question

I have a problem with Oracle SQL Developer. When I use it on a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works fine. When I use it on my Windows 7 desktop, I get a lot of redraw pro

Answer 1

I couldn't even see the dropdown list when I clicked Tools. Here's what I did.

1. Click Tools
2. Try to locate Preferences by moving your mouse downwards from the Tools button.
3. When in Preferences, do the same in step 2 for the left side of the panel and try to locate Environment.
4. When in environment, try to locate 'Look and Feel'. You won't be able to see the caption but it has these values : Windows | Oracle. You'll know you found it when you see a drowdown with an actual value of Oracle.
5. Change it to Windows.

That solved my problem.

To hell with these kind of stupid problems.
