FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.3.1"

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION : ANY


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The document
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/mixing/index.h
tml

  states: "The Swing team is considering adding the option of
creating InternalFrames  as heavyweight containers in a
future Swing release to alleviate this  problem."

This option is extremly important to me. Can you tell me
about your planning for fixing the problem ?

Best Regards,

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create 2 JInternal frames and place them in your
JDesktopPane.
2. Put a heavyweight component in one of both.
3. Put the second frame on top of the heavyweight component.
4. Look at the result and feel it is not good.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
It should be possible to configure JInternalFrames in such
way that they can be HeavyWeight components (or have an
JHeavyWeightInternalFrame in the toolkit).

This would let the OS manage all related problems and fix
many issues.

I understand the interest of lightweight components but I
really feel that this one should be a heavyweight one.

This bug can be reproduced always.
