JDK-6506966 - COMPATIBILITY: Can't use the keypad to simulate game actions
Description
Tested OS/Browser:      
                        XP-Pro(sp2)/IE6
                        win 2000 pro(sp4)/IE6
                                   
Tested build: jre-6u1- b01 

Problem:
-------
Can't type the user name information to connect the chat room. The text field is unditable. This is a regression in 6u1-b01. It works fine in jre-6-fcs and MS VM on the same test configurations.

Steps to reproduce:
------------------
1) Install jre-6u1-b01 into the test system 
2) Browse to:  http://pages.prodigy.net/glee/chatroom.htm
3) Tbe login applet will be displayed and users expect to enter their user name to connect into the chatroom.

In jre-6-fcs, MS VN, users can enter their username, but in jre-6u1-b01, they can't type anything. Hence, they can't get into the chat room
To generalize the symptom of the problem, it appears that the text field lose focus and hence can't accept any text input. It prevens users from enter any text when asked as part of the game. It's a common functionality of game applets.
Comments
EVALUATION There are several AWT bugs fixed in 6u1, two of them are focus-related: 6448190 and 6458497. They have also been integrated into 7.0 and we must check if 6503816 is also caused by these fixes.
