JDK-4085183 - Solaris: Sys clipbd not Xlated to DataFlavor till Java window gets input focus
Description

Name: paC48320			Date: 11/27/97


I wrote a library for GUI applications to catch data posted
on system clipboard without having users pointing mouse to that 
application frame.  If one of the application had mouse focus and
lost it, this particular frame would not be able to access
system clipboard via getSystemClipboard() method.  If I move 
mouse into that frame again, it will work again.

This particular bug appears only on Solaris (Sparc) platform.
The same code work fine on NT.  I have reported this bug when 
JDK1.1.2 released, but it does not get fixed through 1.1.3 and
1.1.4.  A different bug appeared on 1.1.2 for NT is gone, but 
this Solaris bug is still there.  Is that because X-server characteristics
or X11StringSelect implementation.  If this can't not be fixed, I have to 
get different implementation soon since I can't not provide different 
behaviors on different platforms.

EVALUATION 6/7/2000 kevin.ryan@eng -- reproducible under 1.1.8_003 and 1.3.0-C on Solaris, with and without using the "focus follows mouse" (vs. "click to set focus") desktop setting. This appears to be a duplicate of # 4085183.
