      This only happens the first time a TextField is
      displayed. Replication steps:

      1) Write a Swing 1.0.2 application that pops up
         a JTextField.
      2) Click in the JTextField. No insert cursor will
         be displayed. This is the bug.
      3) Change focus to another window other than the
         Swing application.
      4) Switching back to the Swing application and
         clicking in the JTextField displays the cursor
         as expected.
      5) Further creation of JTextFields and using them
         works as expected from then on.

      Got more info from the customer (code is attached):

      I spent some time and wrote an application that uses some of my code which
      reproduces the bug 100%. It is based on the notepad application. I've attached
      the source code and the properties file. Here's how to run it on Solaris
      JDK 1.1.6, (Solaris 2.5.1), and Swing 1.0.2:

       1) Compile and run the application.
       2) In the file menu, choose 'First Step'.
       3) Click the text field (should be the blank white area).
       4) Choose 'Second Step' from the File menu.
       5) A dialog box will pop up. Clicking on a text field shows
          no I - beam cursor.
       6) If the window focus for the application is lost, like clicking
          on another xterm (or moving outside the window if focus follows
          mouse), and then focusing the application again, the I-Beam
          cursor will re-appear.

      If this still doesn't reporduce the problem on your end, you may as well
      set the status of my bug to 'Unreproducible'. I could be jinxed.
