JOSM display is just a mess

[ggranvik@…]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Selecting a menu, or opening a popup box.

What is the expected result?

What happens instead?

Screen, menus and popup boxes are just a mess. I have a screen shot I wanted to attach, but where do I put this??.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

Have to shut down JOSM and restart. Sometimes it will work fine for a while, at other times everything is messed up as soon as I try to select something in a menu or open a data entering box. How can I attach a screen shot??

Forgot to mention, but I have used JOSM for quite a long time - the problems appeared after recent updates (JOSM / Java).

That's very likely not a JOSM problem. Recommendation would be to switch to a recent Java version, e.g. 16 or 11 (LTS).
