SUGGESTED FIX webrev: http://sa.sfbay.sun.com/projects/swing_data/6u10/6675802/ The fix: src/share/classes/javax/swing/Popup.java *** 210,221 **** --- 210,229 ---- setFocusableWindowState(false); setName("###overrideRedirect###"); // Popups are typically transient and most likely won't benefit // from true double buffering. Turn it off here. getRootPane().setUseTrueDoubleBuffering(false); + // Try to set "always-on-top" for the popup window. + // Applets usually don't have sufficient permissions to do it. + // In this case simply ignore the exception. + try { setAlwaysOnTop(true); + } catch (SecurityException se) { + // setAlwaysOnTop is restricted, + // the exception is ignored } + } public void update(Graphics g) { paint(g); }

EVALUATION Please, find the evaluation in the appropriate section of the jdk7 CR version. According to the shortage of time only simple (and not complete) fix version was integrated. There are a couple of related smaller problems, which should be solved in 6u10: 6580930, 6591503.
