In trying to create a small window to display some
text in to create a "Tool Tip". I have come across a
problem under Solaris 2.5.1 w/CDE that did not
arise when I developed the code originally under
Windows 95. The bug appears to be the same
problem that was reported under bug #4024578,
which has been deemed un-reproducable.

A note about the code below: A window not using
pack() is created before one using pack(). If
the two instantiations are swapped, neither window
will be displayed. I have also tried it with two
different Frame parents, and if pack() is called
in one before the other then all subsequent windows
will not appear.

import java.awt.*;

public class WindowBug extends Window
{

public WindowBug(Frame parent, String text, int x, int y, boolean usePack)
{
super(parent);
Label label = new Label(text);
add("Center", label);

if(usePack)
pack();
else
{
setSize(100,100);
validate();
}
setLocation(x, y);
}


public static void main(String[] args)
{
try {
Frame f = new Frame("WindowBug");
f.setSize(300, 300);
f.show();
String text1 = "Not using pack()";
WindowBug t = new WindowBug(f, text1, 110, 130, false);
t.show();


String text2 = "Using pack()";
WindowBug t2 = new WindowBug(f, text2, 110, 220, true);
t2.show();

}
catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

}
