159338 - Applet behaves wierdly in Solaris, sometimes doesn't work at all.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Nandu]

I am attaching a simple Applet that I created to simulate the problem that I am 
facing.

All the applet does is to show a Label, Text Box and a Button. Clicking on the 
button opens up a new window where you can enter some text and save it. When 
you click on save, the value you entered is saved in the Label on the main 
applet window.

This applet works properly in both Windows and on Linux (Mandrake). The problem 
occurs when I test using Solaris, which is my target OS.

In Solaris, the applet works only sometimes. I can edit the main text box only 
after I change focus to the java console and then back to Mozilla.

For the pop-up window the bug is even weirder. On 1 Solaris machine I can edit 
it after the java console focus trick. But on another Solaris machine it 
totally refuses to work.

I'm using JRE 1.4

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nandu

Not a crash, dataloss or hang ==> major, not critical.

Reproduced the problem with netscape 7.0 and JRE 1.4.1 on Soloaris, and Linux
seemed to work fine.
Re-assign to Joshua for further investigation.

Attachment: source code of testcase that listen focus event

By using this testcase, I found that the gain focus event of textfield lost
when applet has not gained focus. If click Applet (gray area) and then click
Textfield, the textfield gain focus and works well (ca input)

I test this bug in the lastest JRE/JPI 1.4.1(July 28th 's build) and Mozilla 
(July 24th 's build). The applet works well and the event is also normal. I 
think JRE/JPI has fixed this bug.

So mark this bug as Resolve (WONTFIX) on OJI side.
