3.Type some characters into script text field,then press the under button,then move cursor out to applet and reback into text field, the text field get the focus and turn to black border and cursor is twinkling,but can't input characters.
Sometimes, through click or double click, make it can input again, sometimes,can't. Sometimes, if select some characters, can't use DEL keyboard to delete the characters.

It is difficultly to find to reproduce this bug's changeless way, but through again and again play, sometimes, that make lose focus and can't input anymore include can't input characters into browser's url bar or proxy setting fields .

EVALUATION Name: rpR10076 Date: 10/16/2003 Sounds like focus issues resolved with XEmbed. ###@###.### ====================================================================== Name: dmR10075 Date: 10/16/2003 This is a well known problem(see 4902616), it has been fixed in 1.5 by implementation of XEmbed protocol. The bug is not reproducible with XEmbed-enabled Java(1.5b22)/Mozilla(1.4) ###@###.### 2003-10-16 ====================================================================== We discussed the idea of backporting XEmbed work to 1.4.2_0x with ###@###.###, and there are currently no plans to do the backport. Since this bug is reproducible in 1.4.2_0x, but not in 1.5, I will close it as No Longer Reproducible. ###@###.### 2003-10-16
