Alignment Issues of the Main Menu on Linux Systems Based on Gnome 3.x

Problem

On some Linux systems based on Gnome 3.x (Ubuntu 11.x, 12.x), the main menu of Oxygen XML Editor has alignment issues when you navigate it using your mouse.

Solutions

This is a known problem caused by Java SE 6 1.6.0_32 and earlier. You can resolve this problem using the latest Java SE 6 JRE from Oracle. To download the latest version, go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.

To bypass the JRE bundled with Oxygen XML Editor, go to the installation directory of Oxygen XML Editor and rename or move the jre folder. If Oxygen XML Editor does not seem to locate the system JRE, either set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the location where you have installed the JRE, or you can simply copy that folder with the JRE to the installation directory and rename it to jre to take the place of the bundled JRE.
