Description
build: j2sdk1.4.0
machine: Ultra 60 with Solaris 5.8

Description:
Open a modal dialog, which has a help button
    Brings up Java Help (not sure if it's modal), which has a Print button
        Brings up the Java Print dialog (not sure if it's modal)
           -> None of the components on this dialog are responsive
           -> and now I can't dismiss the Java Help window.           

To reproduce the bug, you can try bring up Forte For Java, Enterprise Edition 4.0, and then follow these steps:
1. Select Tools->JDBC Form Wizard... in the main menu
  ==> New Wizard - JDBC Form Wizard window pops up.
2. Click Help button in New Wizard - JDBC Form Wizard window.
  ==> JDBC - Help window pops up.
3. Click the Print button in the JDBC - Help window.
  ==> A Print window pops up.
4. Click Print button, or try check/uncheck any checkbox, or click other Tab
  ==> None of the components are responsive.

* All buttons in the Print window are disabled by using mouse to select or
  click. But they can be enabled by using Tab or Space Key from keyboard
  - the a11y feature works fine.

* If print the same document from a Help window, which is started from the main menu, the print feature works fine.

* Try Build -> New Makefile... , or Tools -> Debugging Options in the main menu,
 click the Help button in their pop up window, try the Print feature, will get    the same problem.

EVALUATION I trust I've put this in the right subcategory. This is clearly a print dialog problem not a JavaHelp problem. ###@###.### 2002-06-20 =================================== This is not a printing bug. Its a dialog modality bug. This is a duplicate of another bug which already describes this exact problem with JavaHelp in Forte for Java. ###@###.### 2002-06-21 ============================
