172807 - MRJ plugin: Live dragging does not work in applets

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Camino Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P2)

Description

[Brian Nesse (gone)]

To see this go to the above URL and scroll down to the applet. When you click on
a resistor in the "toolbox" and drag it to the circuit, you should see the
resistor dragged to the circuit, what happens right now is that only the mouse
cursor is seen (but the resistor appears in the circuit when you release the mouse.

You can also see this in applets which have scroll bars. The scroll bar does not
track when you click in the thumb.

Here is a applet that requires the user to drag the 3D object:

The java.sun.com applet WorksForMe with Camino 2003081102. The Nokia applet appears to have 
gone away.

It works because you're using Apple's Java Plugin, not the MRJ plugin. But we're
not going to work on that any more.
