Description
When running Java Plug-in for Merlin, visit demo page http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/demos/applets.html. Applet will be loaded fine and ran. However, when clicking on any area in the applet (pure AWT or Swing), the JRE will crash and cause the browser window to go away. This happens on Win32/Solaris/Linux.

However, switching the same plug-in with older version of J2SE (e.g. 1.3), the applets ran fine. Thus, apparently this is possibly problem in AWT in Merlin.

> Could you send us a stack trace or core file, or anything
> that would indicate the problem is in the AWT?

        The following trace are obtained by attaching Internet Explorer with
Visual Studio when plugin is running. Click on the applet will cause the
browser process to crash because AWT.dll has generated access violation
exception.

EVALUATION Commit to fix in Merlin-beta (serious crash). eric.hawkes@eng 2001-03-19 Name: dkR10074 Date: 03/30/2001 ###@###.### 2001-03-30 I contacted the submitter, Stanley Ho, asking him about additional information about reproducing this bug on Solaris/Linux. He answered that crashes on Solaris/Linux, as they figured out we caused by different problem: >> The code where it crashes on Windows is very Windows-specific, >> so it doesn't help with Solaris and Linux part. >> Could you provide any additional debug information similar to what >> is already in the bug report for Windows part (core file would >> be fine if it of reasonable size to send via e-mail, or dbx trace, or >> whatever)? > > Sorry, we found that the Solaris/Linux crash is actually related to > another bug in AWT, so this bug is specified for Win32. So the bug reproduces on Win32 only. In awt_Component.cpp, AwtComponent::WmComponentSetFocus contains the following code: AwtWindow *awtWindow = (AwtWindow *) AwtComponent::GetComponent(topLevel); where topLevel is a result of GetTopLevelParentForWindow(GetHWnd()). In case of an applet window GetTopLevelParentForWindow returns HWND for Internet Explorer's main window which isn't an AWT component, so AwtComponent::GetComponent always returns NULL. To fix the bug we have to check awtWindow. ======================================================================
