EVALUATION we determined that the hang is caused by change: 7131316: 20ms latency always observed for LiveConnect round-trip in IE webrev of orig fix: http://sa.sfbay.sun.com/projects/deployment_data/8/7131316.0/ for now, we will back out the above fix. a new CR will be filed to re-fix the performance enhancement.

EVALUATION confirmed bug is there since 7u4 b09, and is caused by this change: 7131316: 20ms latency always observed for LiveConnect round-trip in IE backing out the above fix will make the problem go away. but the fix is performance escalation from customer - need to better understand the performance fix and see if we can change it to work for this case too.

EVALUATION confirmed the problematic behavior: After I click "submit all", a new window titled "Processing..." with a progress bar saying "Processing request 1" pops up, and this is a modal window. From now on, nothing proceeds further anymore. And that progress window cannot be dismissed with any clicks. Only way out is to kill the browser process. I can reproduce on win7 32-bit, IE 9. attached is applet client and browser jvm thread dump.
