Web Browser Java Plugin Bugs
The AWT implementation within the Java Plugin is buggy in a number of areas - I'll post more as I find them, here is what I got so far.
1. The CTRL-C and CTRL-V in text boxes dont work and seem to insert the ctrl characters themselves rather than copy and paste.
2. When using and turing off the hour glass - quite often the hourglass wont turn off until mouse is shifted off the container/component you are on.
3. The Text box control seems to have font size issues.There is loads of white space above/below the actual text. Although our code uses it pretty consistently in some cases the box is overly large - but to accomodate that white space - so at least you can see it - at other times it is not sized deep enough and you cannot see the text, only white space above it.
Note: I am aware that SWING will probably solve all this - and in fact we have one SWING app that works fine. But we have a major Java AWT applet used by a large customer base across IE/JVM, IE+Plugin and Netscape+Plugin w/o any of the above.
