those computers where this option is not problematic (I don't know how to
identify it) then a "if" conditional is necessary for JAVA_ARGS in
/usr/share/sweethome3d/sweethome3d.sh. If in doubt, it is best to delete it
from the file.
This is not a fundamental flaw which makes sweethome3d unusable on all systems
hence I set the severity to normal.
You can override this setting by executing
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dsun.java2d.opengl=false'
I recommend to use sweethome3d with hardware acceleration otherwise the
performance may be rather poor, especially if you use the 3D features. The
change to activate and set sun.java2d.opengl to true was intentional. See also
https://bugs.debian.org/854030
I believe this setting is useful for most users of sweethome3d and should be
true by default. At the moment I don't know how the script can be improved to
detect corner cases like your system. Please send patches to this bug report if
you find a solution that works best for all users.
