As demonstrate in the following applet that should bring up a non-resizable
frame and dialog. I noticed the following behavior:
- If ran on my own machine the appletviewer would occasionally brought up
a resizable frame and/or dialog when they all should be non-resizable.
Aside from been resizable when it shouldn't be, sometimes the frame would
popped up then disappeared. Other times, the frame would come up and
occupied the entire screen and not its programmed size of 100X250. The
dialog, sometimes, failed to be displayed as well.
- If run remotely and displayed on my machine, the resizable frame and/or
dialog would occur more frequent.
- If run the applet in the Netscape browser, the frame is consistently not
resizable but the dialog is always resizable. The browser version is
"Netscape 4.51/U.S., 27-Feb-99; (c) 1995-1998 Netscape Communications Corp.".
- There seems to be a timing related failure here because if the methods
setResizable(), setVisible(), and setBounds() are shuffled then an
entirely different behaviors prevail.
- Lastly, my biggest concern is the inconsistent display behavior of the
appletviewer.
