Using JRE 1.2.2_007 in java webstart causes problem with application miltary game (MG). After MG is started, clicking on any menus will not bring down any
submenus. Also when MG is started with 1.2.2_007, the demo is not running properly. The chess are not moving at all. However, if we move another window over the MG window, the MG window gets updated and we can see the chess changed locations on the game board. This suggest that it might be a repaint problem with 1.2.2_007.
Step to reproduce on WinNT:
1. install JRE 1.2.2_007 - avaliable on java.sun.com
2. set the default JRE in javaws with 1.2.2_007 and run military game application with j2se version set to 1.2. The jre and jar for military game can be found at:

3. start mg with javaws.
The problem can be observed once the MG windows appears.
I tried it on solaris and WinNT. both show similar problems.
1. WinNT with JRE 1.2.2_007
2. Solaris with JRE 1.2.2_005
