Greetings Joris! This is an odd error which I cannot reproduce. Would you mind telling me the following: 1) which version of Java are you using? 2) which version of the IDV are you using (start up the idv, and click IDV, About IDV - specifically the build date)? 3) did you build it yourself or did you download a .dmg from us? Cheers!
