Sub Tasks

Description
We are unable to input text correctly into a JTextField after a javascript alert box is displayed.  The problem occurs when loading an applet on a Solaris 8 workstation with JRE 1.4.1_02 b6 and Netscape 7, rev 1.0.1.  The problem also reproduces on Solaris 9.  This appears to be a plugin/Netscape browser issue. The problem does not appear on a Windows machine running Netscape 7 and the 1.4.1_02 pluNetscagin.  Nor does the problem appear when the applet is loaded in Mozilla.  The problem appears to get triggered after the applet with the text field loses focus.

EVALUATION

It appears to be focus related issue. After dismissing the alert box, focus does not return to the JTextField, even it still has blinking cursor.

Also reproducible with 1.4.2

This does sound similar to other bugs we have seen.  
For example, 4806274.  We think the root cause of the 
problem is that the plugin and the browser don't have 
a good protocol to communicate about focus ownership.  
It would be fine to reassign the bug to AWT.  

Thanks, 

Eric

According to above comment from Eric, re-assign to AWT.

This probably has been fixed by XEmbed.
Will verify this after XEmbed work is integrated(18 August).

====================================================================== 

I'm going to move this to integrated since the other bugs that we expected 
the XEmbed work are gone.  If the submitter could verify with Tiger build 30 
or later, that would be great.
