orig synopsis:
  "java.awt.Windows do not receive input if their parent frame is hidden."

Name: diC59631 Date: 11/24/97


On Solaris (ie., not on Windows NT), if an instance of java.awt.Window is created relative
to a parent frame, and the parent frame is not
visible, the Window will not receive any mouse
events. (I havn't checked other input events.)
Trying to implement custom popups with an
invisible parent frame becomes a problem. I'm
sure the JFC guys would like this fixed also.

Note, this appears to be similar to bug 4058361,
but it is worded incorrectly.

Sample Code: Window 1 doesn't get events, Window
2 does.

/** Creates 2 Frames, each with a child window. Frame 1 is hidden,
 * while frame 2 is showing.
 * Window 1 is a child of Frame 1.
 * WIndow 2 is a child of Frame 2.
 *
 * BUG: Window 1 doesn't get any mouse events on Solaris.

public class WindowTest

    public static void main(String argv[])
    {
//// FRAME 1, WINDOW 1
Frame frame = new Frame();
Window win = new Window(frame);
win.setLayout(null);
Button b1 = new Button("Window 1");
win.add(b1);
b1.setBounds(10, 10, 70, 30);
win.addMouseListener(new MousePrinter());
//win.pack();
win.setBounds(20,20, 90, 60);
win.setVisible(true);

//// FRAME 2, WINDOW 2
frame = new Frame("Frame 2");
frame.setBounds(300,300,50,50);
// SHOW FRAME 2
frame.setVisible(true);
win = new Window(frame);
win.setLayout(null);
b1 = new Button("Window 2");
win.add(b1);
b1.setBounds(10, 10, 70, 30);
win.addMouseListener(new MousePrinter());
win.setBounds(20, 100, 90, 60);
win.setVisible(true);
    }

        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me)
        { System.err.println(me); }
    }
