Description
Finance division in Sun Australia is running some Oracle tests.. They encounter oracle applicatoin hang when they open staroffice spreadsheet and cut and paste something in spreadsheet.

The problem can be consistently reporduced on my sunray in Sydney. I am attaching the steps to reproduce the problem to this bug as: suntea_oracle_duplication_steps
steps to reproduce are:
1. Launch Java ControlPanel:

/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/ControlPanel

2. Go to "Java" tab, then push "View" button in "Java Applet Runtime Settings" group.

3. In "Java Runtime Parameters" text field type:

   -Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.X11.XToolkit

4. Commit the change with "Ok".

5.Access the following URL from a mozilla browser:
http://steel.singapore.sun.com:8035/OA_HTML/US/ICXINDEX_APFINDEV_steel.htm

login: hh116528
passwd: gordon123

6. Fixed Assests Manager shows up:

7. Select View Financial Information --> Click Open.

8. Find Assests shows up:
Click -->  Find by Book.
Enter CORP_NZ  for Book
Click --> Find.

9. Assest shows up:
Select any row in there.

10. Open Staroffice spreadsheet:

12. Do a cut and paste operation:

13. Go back to oracle: now you'll see that he oracle application is hung.

EVALUATION After a no. of discussions with the SunIT and PTS folks, it turns out that the problem is not reproduceable anymore. Jim Pang has given his consent to close out the escalation. It looks like after they pointed to the latest 5.0 jdk, the problem wasn't reproduceable anymore. Closing out the bug as not reproduceable.

EVALUATION I looked through attached logs pstack_22826_..._hang. And looks like the logs does not contain any traces related to java clipboard.

EVALUATION Looks like I can reproduce the problem on my Linux Gentoo host with Gnome as a window manager. I used 1.5.0u10 jre.

EVALUATION based on the stack dump we have it is not a deadlock :( There are three possible reasons of the hang: 1. toolkit thread stops event processing for some reason (need to verify with logging) 2. Plugin tries to read something 3. the applet tries to read/write something to sockets

EVALUATION acording to steps to reproduce, problem only occurs with -Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.X11.XToolkit since problem does not occur with default toolkit, am reassigning to awt.
