Yes. This is a know problem and even mentioned in the release notes,
as far as I can remember. Another problem is, that Java programs
don't work properly on displays with more than 8 planes (e.g. TrueColor
displays). I've already filed a bug report about this and hope that
it is fixed in a new release.
