SmartGit, SmartSVN and SmartSynchronize show a black area right beside the last column in the header area.

SmartGit, SmartSVN, SmartSynchronize hang on OS X 10.11 beta 3
SmartGit, SmartSVN, SmartSynchronize and a lot of other Java-based (GUI) applications, e.g. Eclipse, hang on OS X 10.11 beta 3 / public beta 1 (El Capitan). They worked on previous OS X 10.11 beta versions.
It is discussed in following thread forums.developer.apple.com/thread/8776.
We will see whether Apple fixes it in a new beta version.
Update on July 27th 2015
The problem has been fixed by Apple with the release of OS X 10.11 public beta 2.
SmartGit fails to start on Windows
If you try to launch SmartGit and see a “Couldn’t load main class.” error, be sure to check the TEMP and TMP environment variables. They should point to a directory where the current user has write access (references).
Crash on KDE
If SmartGit, SmartSVN or SmartSynchronize crashes for you on dialogs where (on other platforms) comboboxes are visible, please check whether the oxygen-gtk style is selected. It is reported to be extremely buggy and better should be replaced with either Adwaita or Clearlooks-Phenix:
- Â Open the System Settings
- Select the Application Appearance
- On the GTK+ Appearance page select, e.g. Adwaita
