I just want to post a fix. I ended up removing all versions of java I had and followed the steps on this site (webupd8.org/2012/09/install- … a-ppa.html) to install Java 8. That fixed the problem for me!
I am also having the same problem. I’m not going the Java 8 route since it’s not supported, and there will be no security updates according to the linked page. VASSAL is completely unusable on 2 Ubuntu 15.10 systems currently.

What you’re hitting is a bug in Java. There’s nothing we can do about
it. The fix is to use a different version of Java.
