Qsys drawing issues when run on Native CentOS 6.5 Linux

Description

In the Quartus II software release version 14.1, the Qsys GUI has obvious screen drawing issues when run on Native CentOS 6.5 Linux. Drawing issues include:

• Window repaints incorrectly
• Controls draw incorrectly or do not draw
• Text does not display
• Screen glitches when scrolling the page
• Incorrect resizing

Resolution

For the Qsys editor (qsys-edit), you must set the environment variable QSYS_EDIT_JVM_ARGS to -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false by adding the line export QSYS_EDIT_JVM_ARGS="-Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false" to your ~/.bashrc file.
