JDK-4056038 - Dialog boxes are not centered
Description
<linda.schneider@eng 2-24-97>

Dialogs are automatically positioned in the center of the Frame in
solaris/motif awt (both modal and non-modal dialogs) This does not
match other platforms/toolkits (my testcase worked fine on kona and
on solaris/tiny/1.0k) so I belive it is a bug.

This prevents applets and applications (e.g. HJViews on solaris)
from being able to layer or position dialogs when necessary

Dialogs can be positioned on Solaris/Tiny/1.0.k and kona

( I received exceptions when attempting to run the 1.1 and 1.1.1
appletviewer with tiny on solaris ... so I was not able to verify its
interaction in that case)
This happens on:
	jdk1.0.2
	jdk1.0.k (release I- 10/11/96)
	jdk1.1 (FCS)
	jdk1.1.1 (dated 2/20/97)

I am including a simple test case (sorry ... its the old event model because
I needed on that worked on older jdks such as 1.0k)


The test case is under Attachments

EVALUATION The bug is still reproducible under Sun4 Solaris 2.7 with JDK 1.3RA. sandeep.konchady@Eng 1999-12-02 Name: dsR10078 Date: 07/04/2001 I used the following test case to reproduce the problem: ------------------------------------------------------- import java.awt.*; public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Frame f = new Frame(); Dialog d = new Dialog(f); f.setBounds(0, 200, 400, 400); d.setBounds(400, 200, 200, 200); f.setVisible(true); d.setVisible(true); } } ------------------------------------------------------- The bug is reproducible exactly as described with jdk 1.1 on Sparc/Solaris 2.7, CDE 1.3. The dialog is positioned in the center of the owner Frame. This test works fine on jdk 1.1.1 and later up to merlin b70. I verified that the bug is not reproducible on Sparc/Solaris 2.7 and Intel/Solaris 2.7 with CDE 1.3, WindowMaker and Gnome. ###@###.### 2001-07-02 ======================================================================
