FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)
FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS :
not sure
EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Bug occurs on both IE 6 and IE5.5. Haven't tested on others
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This bug involves copying and pasting from the os(windows)
into an applet. We were getting reports of pasting stoping
working. After some testing, i found that it would quit
working entirely after a user opened a modal dialog box.
From that point on, copy/paste would not work at all, until
the browser was completely shut down and brought back up.
Upon further investigation, i built a small sample applet
that did nothing but have a single textarea and a dialog
(with a textarea in it). If i made it modal, it followed
the same bug, if i made it non-modal, i could copy and
paste all day.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Load index.html (which contains the applet)
The main applet screen has 2 parts, a combobox for
selecting modality, and a big text area.
2. Select false in the combo, meaning non-modal
3. Select another application, and copy some text.
4. Paste (ctrl-v) the text in the large textarea (all ok)
5. Right click in the textarea (this opens the dialog)
6. Resize it so you can see (sorry, i was lazy)
7. Paste the text in there (all ok)
8. Click ok or cancel
9. back on the main applet window, paste in the text area
(all ok)
10. repeat as much as you want.
11. Change the combo to true (modal)
12. right click in the textarea.
13. try to paste in the dialog's textarea
14. close the dialog.
15. try to paste in the applets textarea.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I would expect the paste to work in both cases.
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Basically, we had to not use modal dialogs.
