Eclipse Splash screen image is upside-down on macOS Sonoma (2023-06 and 2023-09 M1)

[minduch]

This issue is perhaps not in the correct place, it should perhaps be in eclipse.swt or eclipse.pde?

On macOS Sonoma Beta versions, Eclipse 2023-06 and 2023-09 M1 shows the correct image of the splash screen (during workspace selection or just very shortly if workspace selection is bypassed), until the progress bar appears, then the image (not the progress bar) is drawn upside-down! I have not seen this on any previous macOS versions such as Ventura.

This also happens to products that are Eclipse PDE based, such as ours with our own splash screen image.

Is this still happening on the latest Sonoma beta? Can you create a test snippet, perhaps one that loads an image and sets the background image like this:

This is happening in the released version as well.

macOS Sonoma 14.0
16-inch 2021 MacBook Pro
Apple M1 Max

Happened in mine too. Thought is was some kind of easter egg. Doesn't affect anything besides looks AFAIK.

The root cause of this has been reported here - #772

After upgrading my mac to somona, I am seeing first this inverted image on startup and then my eclipse also behaves strage like the tab headers (console, serversm etc) come and go and screen blinks, it has become very hard to work on eclipse after the update for me.

That also happens with the older Eclipse IDE version 2022-09 on MacOS Sonoma 14.0. Surprisingly, the text "IDE" is not shown upside down.

As mentioned, this is because the problem is in macOS Sonoma, not Eclipse. The text is not part of the background image. See #772

This is the point where splash screen is getting flipped.

Yes, as mentioned in #772 the real issue is at Control.setBackgroundImage. The Splash screen is just one manifestation of that.
