Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[bugreport]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; fr; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; fr; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

 When using an applet in a hidden Frame, start() is not called whereas it should 
be called after init().
 Applet's Start() function is only called when the frame containing the applet is
big enough. (Manualy resize window/frame lauches start() when big enough)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a page contaning an applet in a hidden frame:
on Demo URL click on "Test with invisible frame containing the Applet"

or
1.Open a page contaning an applet in a very small frame (did not determined limit size) :
on Demo URL click on "Test with small frame containing the Applet (1 per cent of frameset)"

Actual Results:  
Only applet's init() function is called.

Simple test applet on demo URL (http://helpdesk.dictao.com/AppletFirefoxOSX/) logs
in java console when entering init().

Applet's output is :
TestApplet - INIT
TestApplet - INIT - TestParam = Test Value

Expected Results:  
Should call init() then start().

Test Applet's output should be :
TestApplet - INIT
TestApplet - INIT - TestParam = Test Value
TestApplet - START
TestApplet - START - TestParam = Test Value

-Configuration used :

MacOSX Tiger 10.4.5(ppc)
either apple's J2SE 1.4.2 or 5.0
Firefox 1.5.0.1 with integrated Java Embedding Plugin 0.9.5+b

-Works fine with :
 *Safari 2.0.3 with J2SE 1.4.2 or 5.0
 *Mozilla 1.7.12 with java 1.3.1
