85240 - Java plugin does not function properly while checking HushMail e-mails

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P3)

Description

[simos]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.5 i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607
BuildID:    2001060713

While checking e-mails at http://www.hushmail.com (account required), a Java
applet is loaded in order to view the e-mails. This applets has several buttons
to view/reply/save the e-mails. After clicking a couple of buttons, the applet
becomes irresponsive. That is, when you click a button, nothing happens. The
buttons is shown to be pressed but there is no activity. A work-around is to
load the Java console (Tasks/Tools/Java Console) and press the "g" key for
"garbage collection". Then the applet is alive again. However, after a bit the
problem reappears and one needs to press "g" every time.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get a hushmail account (www.hushmail.com).
2.Login and view the e-mails. Once in, a Java Applet is loaded through SSL
allowing you to check e-mails.
3. Click buttons to view/create e-mails.
4. After clicking 2/3 buttons, the applet becomes irresponsive. It requires
manual garbage collection as mentioned in the Description of this bug.

Actual Results:  The applet becomes irresponsive.

Expected Results:  The applet should be working fine.
I am not sure if it is solely a Java Plugin issue or if it is Mozilla-bridge
related.

I am using the Java Plugin version:

Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.3.0_01
Using JRE version 1.3.0_01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

In case this bug stays a long time, it applies to HushMail 1.4.

When I try this on win32, it say I must enable javascript, even though 
javascript is enabled.  I've filed bug 85837 on that.

Well, I think this is another lazy loading related bug.  If I start the 
browser, then go to Tasks->Tools->Java Console, wait for the console to appear, 
THEN visit the applet, I can login and read and send mail successfully.  But 
oddly enough, I have to click on each of the buttons several times before they 
take affect.  

At least it works.
