257750 - JPopupMenu fails to fire events under JDK 1.5 and Firefox 0.9.3

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

When a JPopupMenu on a simple Panel is shown (via a right click), if the
JPopupMenu does not extend beyond the bounds of the JApplet (onto the HTML page
itself), it does not recieve events from it's items being clicked on.  The
attached java file demonstrates this, it is a simple JApplet with a JPopupMenu
with one item.  Clicking on this item shows an alert box.  However if the
JPopupMenu remains wholly inside the applet's bounds, the event is never
recieved, and the alert box is not shown.

This behavious is exhibited in all Java 1.5 versions that I have tried (up to
todays Release Candidate)

I am using RedHat linux 2.4.20-28.8, JDK 1.5RC and Firefox 0.9.3

The plugin is in the plugins directory as a symbolic link to:
    JAVA_HOME/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Compile the attatched java file by using the command:
        javac JPopupBug.java
2.  Save the attatched HTML to the same directory as the generated class files
3.  Open the HTML file in Firefox 0.9.3 with the 1.5 plugin
4.  Right click on the applet (so that the JPopupMenu is entirely within the
bounds of the applet)
5.  Select the "Show Alert Box!" menu item
6.  Notice no popup
7.  Right click the applet on the far right hand side (so that the JPopupMenu
extends beyond the bounds of the applet)
8.  Select the item
9.  You should then see the required behaviour.  And a popup box should appear

Actual Results:  
No popup alert when JPopupBox contained within bounds of applet

Expected Results:  
Popup alert no matter of location of JPopupMenu

I believe this is some sort of focus issue, where the applet is not getting
focus correctly...

Save this to the same directory as the generated class files.  Then open in
Firefox 0.9.3, with JDK 1.5

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.
