Hello @Shawn Aslam​,

 

If you use the search bar and look for "mac" or "big sur", you'll have a few posts on this problem and some solutions.

Different users report different solutions but you may check:

  • swt library version
  • JDK (Java 8, preferably under 242 version)
  • avoid dark mode

Hi Shawn.

In my expirence; this problems resolved with set the recommend version of JAVA for your pentaho tools (in this case, provide by Oracle not sure with openjdk).

I use MacOS (Monterey 12.3.1) with Pentaho Tools 9.1 and JRE (jre-8u261-linux-x64.tar.gz).

Regards!
