Description
Description:
98/IE 4.0
IE 4.0 crashed while trying to test Dialog Creator Page.  
When running Browser tests for jdk1.2.2 build A, the Dialog Creator Page
located at: 
http://javaweb.eng.sun.com/~mukundm/BrowserSuite/BrowserSuite122A/Suite/QLhtml/4/8.html

Step to Reproduce:
0) Install Java Plug-in from /usr/local/java/jdk1.2.2/bundles/jdk1.2.2.exe
1) Go to http://javaweb.eng.sun.com/~mukundm/ follow the links to the Quicklook suite for JDK-1.2.2-A.
2) Go to the link for viewing with Dialog Creator, Java Plug-in, no jar, different codebase.
3) Applets get loaded but IE 4.0 gets an exception and need to "end task"


Dialog Creator Test
98/IE 4.0 - IE 4.0 froze after applet downloaded, needed to end task.

Results for other configurations:
NT/NetScape 4.08 - OK 
NT/IE4.0 - Downsloads OK, Show dialog brings up MetalBumps exception, not able 
to use after this exeception. (known bug)
98/Netscape 4.06 - OK
95/Netscape 4.5 - OK
95/IE 4.0 - OK

Comments
EVALUATION hans.muller@Eng 1999-01-22 I don't have a Windows98 system to check this against (yet) however the fact that the bug only occurs on 98, and these configurations work: NT/NetScape 4.08 - OK 98/Netscape 4.06 - OK 95/Netscape 4.5 - OK 95/IE 4.0 - OK implies to me that this isn't a Swing bug. Although the symptoms differ it turns out that this is an instance of bug 4203671. JApplets were caching the system event queue and since there's now one per AppContext, we were caching the wrong one. hans.muller@Eng 1999-02-10
