JTextArea(s) and JTextField(s) can't be modified when you load an applet
under Netscape with Java Plug-In configured to use the JRE that comes with JDK1.1.7B. If you load the same applet with appletviewer from 1.1.7B, the
problem does not occur. To reproduce the problem make a copy of the
swing-1.0.3\examples\SwingSet directory. Then run the HTMLConverter
on the SwingSetApplet.html. Make sure Java Plug-In is configured to
use the JRE that comes with JDK 1.1.7B. Then load the converted html
file into Netscape. You should see the SwingSet demo load. Next click on the Plain Text tab of the demo. You should notice you can't edit the TextFields
or the TextArea. You will be able to highlight the text though.
This problem can also be seen with the attached customer test case. The customer had provided his class files, and the source code for the class
files. Note you will only be able to rebuild the class files if you
have access to Powersoft's JBuilder.
