Using Mozilla to access Windchill (product management s/w from PTC), you're
allowed to submit a file to a repository. Windchill uses a file locator applet
to browse the local filesystem and select a file to submit. The Browse window
will open fine, but the text box that the selected file should appear in never
fills in. The full path to the file should appear in the text box. This is 
using java plugin 1.3.1_05 running under Solaris 8. This problem occurs in 
Netscape 7 as well, yet the text box fills in using Netscape 4.76.

Reproducible: Always

Please try to upgrade to java 1.4.1,I assume this is available for SunOS.

Comment 2

Tried both java 1.4.1 and java 1.4.1_01: same results with both.

Is this possibly a java problem rather than a mozilla problem? This
functionality works, using the same applet, with netscape 4.79 and
Explorer.

Kurt, your copy of java should include a utility called "appletviewer" that
allows running applets outside of a web browser. Try using appletviewer to
launch the applet. If the applet misbehaves within appletviewer, then the
problem is either a bug in java or in the applet.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
