Java People,

After 8 hours of fiddling, I've reproduced a bug in the Java Bug fixes!
Specifically: 4032657. This email is to help anyone else with the problem and
maybe to help sun identify and fix the problem!

(If you've never looked:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/knownbugs/classes_awt.html
)

The bug is, I've created a frame with a Canvas on it. The canvas is a
keyListener. It prints out all the key events. (See code below).

By experimentation I've found:

A) a Frame with a Canvas works fine. All key events received.
B) a frame with a border layout, the Canvas in the center, and
   a button to the North, works fine too. All key events received.
C) BUT IF YOU ADD A PANEL in the North, with the button in the panel,
   the canvas DOES NOT RECEIVE any key events!

In fact. If you just add the panel, and not the button, it doesn't receive
either. But I can't prove the location without something showing me where the
edge is.

BTW. The mouse events are not a problem. They are always received correctly.

BTW 2. Adding a Panel between the canvas and the frame is no improvement.

This makes some of my work pretty useless. Can't do much here!

Regards,

Larry
