Hi !
This is my first post, so please bear with me as I attempt to clarify this question.

I am having the opposite problem, everything inside the LimeWire Window disappears, when I scroll using my mouse or trackpad, however I do believe it is a Java related conflict, because it happens with both OSs and on three different Machines.

LimeWire 4.12.11 Pro
Java 1.4.1-01
(If you need more info it is in my signature)

I googled and found this:

LimeWire » Checking Your LimeWire and Java Versions

But it doesn't say which versions of Java are compatible with which versions of LimeWire ! And personally I find OpenSource equally baffling.
