When running a javascript that is calling (periodically) a method of a java applet, the cursor is not moving like it should when typing something in a form or url-bar of another tab.
The cursor is often moving not behind the typed character so that other characters appear before the previous one. It looks like this alway happens as long as the java-method is not returning yet. For example if the called java-method is 'sleeping' for one second, the cursor is not moving anymore for this second.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a HTML page like this:
<html><head> <title>bug</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
loop = function()
{
try
{
var message = document.applets["DEMO_APPLET"].JS2JRequest();
}
catch (exception)
{}
window.setTimeout("loop()", 2000);
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="start" onclick="loop();"> <p>
<APPLET CODE="FA.class" NAME="DEMO_APPLET" WIDTH="50" HEIGHT="50"/></APPLET>
</body></html>
2. Create an applet:
import java.applet.Applet;
public class FA extends Applet {
public void init() {
System.out.println("starting demo-applet");
}
public void JS2JRequest() {
try {Thread.sleep(1000);}
catch (Exception e) {;}
return;
}
}
3. Load the page.
4. Hit the button to start the JavaScript-Java-Communication
5. Open another tab
6. Type arbitrary characters in the location bar or in a form field of any other website.
Actual Results:
The cursor is not moving behind the typed characters.
Expected Results:
The cursor should move behind the typed characters.
Related to bug 256763/Core bug 269973?
It sounds similar to bug 269973 because it also uses some kind of java-javascript communication.
But this example shows the meat:
Javascript calls a java method wich blocks the cursor-movemet until the java method returns.
Looks like it´s fixed in: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6
