77774 - Clicking in Java applet button brings up popup menu

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P4)

Description

[Patrick C. Beard]

If I click in an applet's button, and hold for a while, when I release, a popup
menu (context?) will come up. This is really annoying, and makes interactive
Java applets extremely painful to use. I will provide a simple applet that
demonstrates the problem.
