Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Vinod Mathew]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686)
BuildID:    2001080814

I'm working on mozilla 0.9.3 on Red Hat linux 7.1, the problem I'm facing is
that in my browser I'm loading some java applet and I've to type and scroll down
through this applet, but once you move the mouse pointer out of the applet area
it loses the focus and I'm not able to do my operations.That means you have to
have the mouse pointer on the applet then only you can write or scroll down
inside the applet.As far as my knowledge it might be the problem with mozilla's
external jre(ie sun's one).Anybody have any idea what is the exact problem and
is there any solution to over ride it?		

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write a small java applet using some textare or textfield and load it on the
browser, keep the mouse out of the applet and try to write on it.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  I'm not able to get the focus on the applet , so that I'm
unable to write to the applet

Expected Results:  It has to have the focus on the applet even if the mouse
pointer is out of the applet

All can see this problem using an apple on the browser

Confirmed on recent trunk build. jre1.3.0_01, RedHat6.2

Sample test url
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/TextDemo.html

It is interesting that as soon mouse is moved out of applet focus is passed
to url location textfield.

This could be due to something like nsObjectFrame behavior ...
Need further investigation.

Can this be reproduce on Windows or Mac?

On Linux child windows are used to host plugins and events should go directly to
the window. It's a possiblity there is a problem with focus setting.

Mass-closing bugs in the "OJI" component: OJI plugin integration was replaced with npruntime long ago, and these bugs appear to be irrelevant now. If there is in fact a real bug that remains, please file it new in the "Core" product, component "Plug-ins".
