Description
The shape of mouse cursor is different among JDK versions.

REPRODUCE :
   1) Compile attached test programs
   2) Launch "java Frame1"
   3) Show pull down menu
   4) Move the cursor to textfield

Here, in 1.4.2 and 5.0u3, the cursor seems "I", but in 6.0(b42), that seems "arrow".
Which behaviors is correct ?, 1.4.2/5.0 or 6.0.

Anyway, the behavior should be the same for all jdk versions.

CONFIGURATION :
  OS ; WindowsXP(Japanese)

Comments
EVALUATION The description permit at least two different scenarios: 1) pressing Right Mouse Button on TextField and getting popup menu on it. 2) pressing Left Mouse Button on Choice ond opening pop-down menu on it. We are experiencing that second approach is right. The cursor changes its shape once we position pointer over the TextField with JDK1.4.2 and 5.0. Native behaviour is the same as current one: cursor doens't change. Perhaps this may be closed as not a bug because the behaviour is correct with JDK6.0. ###@###.### 2005-06-30 08:51:26 GMT Current behavior is correct, it should be a result of fix for 5097531. ###@###.### 2005-06-30 10:00:56 GMT
