I can type in the applet's field on the page using the OS X build
(2002-11-12-13) build under 10.2.2. Need to try under Linux Redhat 7.2.

PeterL: can/should this be duped to bug 93149?

Comment 8

[Chris Petersen]

This is occuring on my Linux build (2002-11-12-13 1.0) using JRE 1.3.1. After
applet is intialized, I can't access the applet's drop down menu or text field.

Comment 9

[Chris Petersen]

This also reproduces on the Linux trunk build (2002-11-18-08). Applets from
other sites like pogo.com (Euchre game) have this problem too.
