1. Make a copy of the file ~davidjon/shared/BeansRelease28May97/PickersAndStickyNote.jar on the local hard drive in a machine running Windows 95.
2. Run the BDK 1.0 beanbox.
3. In the Beanbox window, use the File->LoadJar menu option to load your copy of PickersAndStickyNote.jar.
4. When the entries ColorWellBean, FontPickerBean, StickyNotePad and ColorView bean have appeared in the ToolBox window, click on the StickyNotePad to get a cross-hairs cursor.
5. Click in the beanbox to create an instance of the StickyNotePad bean.
6. Use the "Create a Note..." button in the StickyNotePad to create a stickynote. Click continuously on the same button to create several stickynotes.
7. The windows that pop up are usually un-closable, and also ruin the screen. They still figure, untitled and without icons, on the taskbar. But upon clicking on the taskbar, they disappear. Some ghost windows still remain after they have disappeared from the taskbar.
Note:
a. The problem can be duplicated using any other beanbox.
b. I have not been able to isolate it as an AWT bug, or a Win95 bug, or a bean specification bug.
c. The source files, if needed, can be had from ~davidjon/shared/BeansRelease28May97/Source/Stickynote
