Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[kodeordsfejl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; da; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; da; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

Any Java Applet with an AWT TextField where setEchoChar is set, does not react to keyboard input at all. This worked fine in Firefox 1.5.0.6 and earlier, but is broken in 1.5.0.7 and 2.0 beta. I have tested on Mac OS X 10.4.7.
I have tested several Java applets in Firefox 2.0 beta and they all show the bug.
I have tested with Safari on the same machine (same Apple JVM 1.5.0_06 as before) and all applets work fine. Regular TextFields (with no echochar) works fine in both browsers. 
Apologize for the incorrect user agent string above, but I'm writing this from my XP machine - far away from the mac.
